BACKGROUND: Treating the hypertrophic scar remains a challenging problem. It often leaves the clinician with the questions whether, when and how to treat a hypertrophic scar. METHODS: This review will focus on the surgical treatment of hypertrophic scars considering the latest research in this field. RESULTS: We present a rough treatment guideline that offers guidance for choosing the most appropriate surgical technique possible for the treatment of scar hypertrophy. CONCLUSIONS: The presented guideline may help the clinician to get a better understanding of scar hypertrophy: whether and when to treat it surgically, and what treatment to use.
