An Exploration of Hyperbaric Oxygen in the Treatment of Flap Ischaemic Necrosis After Breast Cancer Surgery

The expectation of our study was to explore the efficacy of using hyperbaric oxygen to rescue flap ischaemic necrosis after breast cancer surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Hyperbaric oxygen is commonly used to improve tissue oxygen saturation rescue flap ischemia, and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. In the current study, there are also a number of case reports attempting to explore the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of postoperative skin flaps and nipple areola necrosis after breast surgery and significant efficacy has been obtained. Our study expects to use the treatment of hyperbaric oxygen to save patients with signs of flap ischemic necrosis after breast cancer surgery and to improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients.
