Introduction:
In head and neck cancers, complications such as pharyngostoma, orostoma, or fistula can present following surgery or surgery after irradiation.
Objective:
To report the results of the association of two sea-derived products (Sinomarin and Algosteril) compared to normal saline for the management of healing.
Material And Methods:
This is retrospective study (1998-2000). Thirty patients were included in group 1 (Sinomarin-Algosteril) and 17 patients in group 2 (normal saline). The average age was respectively 60 and 56.2. Patients in both groups presented with advanced head and neck carcinoma (T3-T4) and healing complications.
Results:
The delay of healing was respectively of 33.53 and 72.94 days. Results were statistically significant (Student T-test P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Our results show the efficiency (p < 0.05) of the Sinomarin Algosteril association in head and neck cancer healing complications.
