Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in scar treatment: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is an emerging therapy that is being pioneered as a potential treatment for keloids and hypertrophic scars. Up to this point, there isn't a cure for keloids and hypertrophic scars yet they comprise the commonest benign skin disorders. Despite published studies reporting potential therapeutic benefits of SVF, their use and efficacy on scar improvement are not clearly described. The aim of this review is to describe the clinical practice involved in harvesting, processing, utilization of SVF, and associated efficacy in scar treatment.

Methods

We shall include published clinical articles evaluating the efficacy of SVF on improving scar characteristics and assessment scores among adults with keloids or hypertr
