TL;DR: Assessment of the efficacy of 585-nm PDL in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars compared with conventional treatment modalities shows that treatment with PDL may be superior to conventional modalities in improving overall scar appearance, but results were comparable when scar parameters were evaluated separately.
Abstract: Keloids and hypertrophic scars affect millions of patients. In spite of the widely accepted clinical efficacy of pulsed dye laser (PDL) in the treatment of these scars, a summary of the evidence comparing the use of PDL with conventional treatment modalities has not yet been undertaken. The objective of this review is to assess the efficacy of 585-nm PDL in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars compared with conventional treatment modalities. This review includes eight randomized controlled trials. Results show that treatment with PDL may be superior to conventional modalities in improving overall scar appearance, but results were comparable when scar parameters were evaluated separately. More parallel comparison trials with standardized methods of treatment and outcome assessment are recommended to evaluate long-term treatment effects and recurrence rates.

TL;DR: The efficacy and safety of PVP-I are discussed and its place in wound healing in Asia is outlined, based on an appraisal of recent literature and clinical practice across the region.
Abstract: Antiseptics, with a broader spectrum of antimicrobial efficacy, lower risk of antibiotic resistance development, and minimal collateral damage to host tissues, are important alternatives to control the bioburden in wounds. Povidone iodine (PVP-I), in use for several decades, has the broadest spectrum of activity, a persistent antimicrobial effect, an ability to penetrate biofilms, and a lack of acquired or cross-resistance. It demonstrates good skin tolerance and low cytotoxicity. However, some reports on PVP-I have raised concerns over allergy, ineffective penetration, and toxic effects on host cells. The majority of these concerns are based on in vitro or rodent wound studies with diverse study designs and outcomes; these results may not be directly applicable in the clinical reality in humans. In this paper, we discuss the efficacy and safety of PVP-I and outline its place in wound healing in Asia, based on an appraisal of recent literature and clinical practice across the region.

TL;DR: Early recognition of wound infection by frequent meticulous examination of the sclerocorneal incision for infectious infiltration is of utmost importance so that specific therapy can be instituted immediately to prevent the development of endophthalmitis.
