Overview

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.

The objective of this study is to utilize a 3D camera to measure the volumes of hypertrophic scars and keloids in patients at specified time points. The time points for measurement include day 0, as well as 3, 6, and 12 months. The 3D camera will be evaluated for their efficacy in measuring and documenting the volumes of the scars. This evaluation will include volumetry, which is the measurement of the three-dimensional space occupied by an object.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

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.
