飛梭雷射可以破壞表皮屏障並增強表面塗抹的藥物於真皮層的滲透和分佈，此為作用為雷射輔助藥物導入(laser-assisted drug delivery)。我們過去的研究報告顯示說，使用二氧化碳飛梭雷射輔助局部類固醇導入可以用來減少甲狀腺切除術後之頸部肥厚性疤痕。所以，此研究在於探討術後早期使用二氧化碳雷射輔助局部類固醇導入是否可以預防甲狀腺切除術後之肥厚疤痕形成。這項前瞻性隨機兩側分邊(prospective randomized split design)之疤痕設計研究在2018年3月至2018年12月期間，共招募了十二名剛接受甲狀腺切除術的成年女性患者，於使用二氧化碳飛梭雷射後，立刻局部塗抹0.05% Colbesol 藥膏於治療側。每間隔一個月治療一次，共五次。於治療後一年使用患者和觀察者疤痕評估量表 (Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale, POSAS)及治療前後之照片進行評估。結果顯示於飛梭雷射後有無塗抹Colbesol 藥膏，其術後所形成的疤痕，在疤痕各方面之改善程度並不顯著。從照片中也無法有效區分治療側和控制側形成的疤痕是否明顯之差異。簡單來說就是，使用二氧化碳飛梭雷射輔助局部類固醇導入並無法有效地預防甲狀腺切除術後之肥厚疤痕形成。

scar between the treatment and control sides by three blinded plastic
surgeons according to the digital photographs that were taken at 1‑year
after the first treatment course. The scale of 0–10 indicates totally
identical to significantly different between both sides of the scar. In the
blinded manner, if the plastic surgeon indicated the control side to be the
treatment side, then score was converted to be negative, ranged from
0 (totally identical) to −10 (significantly different)

skin. The scale of 0–10 indicate totally identical to significantly different
from the normal skin
