[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in radionecrotic lesions]

G Pedesini, G Oriani, T Gaietta

    Minerva Medica
    |November 3, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) effectively treats necrosis and osteoradionecrosis following radiotherapy. This method enhances tissue oxygenation, promoting healing and allowing for outpatient treatment, reducing hospital stays.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Radiotherapy for neoplasias can lead to complications like necrosis, radiodermitis, and osteoradionecrosis.
    • The Anaesthesia and Recovery Service at the Galeazzi Orthopaedic Centre utilizes a hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) unit for treating such cases.

    Observation:

    • The study presents cases of radiodermitis and osteoradionecrosis successfully treated with HOT.
    • These conditions, previously resistant to other treatments, showed significant improvement.

    Findings:

    • HOT treatment promotes recovery of scarring and granulation processes.
    • This is attributed to increased tissue perfusion and oxygen diffusion, activating healing in hypoxic tissues.

    Implications:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers a viable treatment for radiation-induced tissue damage.
    • Outpatient HOT treatment (25-70 days) minimizes hospitalization and allows patients to maintain normal life activities.
