Brief Summary

Measuring the volumes of hypertrophic scars and keloids, two specific kind of scars, over different points in time in patients who have undergone surgery and evaluate 3D-cameras as a possible measuring and documenting tool including volumetry.

Conditions

Keloid Scar Following Surgery; Scars, Hypertrophic; Scar Keloid

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Measurability

  The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of utilizing 3D cameras to accurately measure hypertrophic scars and keloids. The primary outcome of this study is the measurement of the volumes of hypertrophic scars in cubic millimeters (equivalent to milliliters) over a period of one year. This will allow for an evaluation of the accuracy of 3D photography and for the observation of any potential changes.

  Day 0, Month 3, 6 and 12

Interventions

3D-Pictures OTHER

3D-Pictures will be taken of hypertrophic scars and keloids to document them.
