Use of hyperbaric oxygen in postradiation head and neck surgery.

摘要: Data are presented to indicate the value of hyperbaric oxygen in all stages treatment patients with irradiation complications following head and neck surgery. Hyperbaric stimulates angiogenesis, increased neovascularization optimization cellular levels for osteoblast fibroblast proliferation, collagen formation, support ingrowing blood vessels. The hypoxic, acellular matrix postirradiated field is changed a hypercellular, hyperoxic/normoxic situation. Oxygen used as an adjunct appropriate By using two modalities together, salvage rate osteoradionecrosis its orocutaneous fistula, pathological fractures, severe bone losses can be dramatically. It may also prophylactically periodontal disease or teeth requiring extraction previously irradiated area. Finally, use helps tissue flaps grafts placed into areas. Economically, there considerable cost savings therapy From patient's point view, pain relief achieved, function returned, prognosis improves relatively short time.
