Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the prevention and management of tracheal and oesophageal anastomotic complications
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Failure of anastomotic healing is a morbid complication after airway or oesophageal surgery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used extensively in the management of complex wound-healing problems. We demonstrate the use of HBOT to rescue...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the effect of keloid surgery and radiotherapy by reducing the recurrence rate.
Abstract: Keloids are exuberant cutaneous scars that form due to abnormal growth of fibrous tissue following an injury. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to reduce the keloid recurrence rate...
Meta-analysis on the effect of hyperbaric oxygen as adjunctive therapy in the outcome of anastomotic healing of experimental colorectal resections in rats.
Abstract: Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer and colorectal surgery is the treatment of choice in local disease. Anastomotic leakage following colorectal surgery is a major complication with a high incidence and mortality. Adjuvant hyperbaric...
A recurrent, ischaemic ileocolonic anastomosis ulcer refractory to surgery treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: A 54-year-old male had undergone right hemicolectomy and ileo-colonic anastomosis for carcinoma-in-situ found at colonoscopy. Eighteen months later, he presented with a lower gastrointestinal bleed from an anastomotic ulcer, treated with resection of the...
Combined Application of Modified Three-Dimensional Printed Anatomic Templates and Customized Cutting Blocks in Pelvic Reconstruction After Pelvic Tumor Resection.
Abstract: Common three-dimensional (3D)-printed anatomic templates have generally been used to reconstruct the pelvis after zone II and III borderline pelvic tumor resection. However, gradual increases in postoperative implant complications and the tumor recurrence...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can ameliorate the EMT phenomenon in keloid tissue.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been widely used in the clinical setting. In this study, HBOT therapy was evaluated for its ability to ameliorate the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenomenon in keloid tissue. Keloid patients were randomly...

Medical thoracoscopy removal of a self-expandable metallic stent migration into pleural cavity.
Abstract: Pleuroscopy, also known as medical thoracoscopy (MT), is an important tool for pleural disease management. Removal of foreign body (FB) by MT was reported in a few reports because it can identify the position of a FB in the pleural cavity and can be used for...
