Abstract

Objective: To investigate effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on treatment of late healed wounds after pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinomas surgery.

Method: Eighty-three patients with late healed wounds after pharyngolaryngectomy were divided into two groups, which were HBO treatment group (n = 48) and control group (n = 35) by random. 48 cases were treated with the general therapeutic measure along with HBO (the pressure is 2 x 10(5) Pa, 110 minutes per day for 5 to 10 days). The other 35 cases were treated with the general therapy without HBO as control.

Result: There were fresh granulation erupted from the wound of entry after 3 or 4 days of HBO) treatment, then the granulation and the new blood capillary erupted continually to fill the wound surface, and the wound of entry was healed over finally. In the HBO and the control groups, the average healing time was 27.50 and 45.00 days (P < 0.01) in the wound by necrosectomy of the myocutaneous flap or forearm flap, 8. 50 and 14.09 days (P < 0.01) in the pharyngeal fistula, 5.93 and 8.62 days (P < 0.01) in the infected or fluid-filled wound.

Conclusion: HBO therapy is an effective and powerful treatment for late healed postoperative wounds in pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinomas surgery.
