OTOLARYNGOLOGY
OTOLARYNGOLOGY
In otolaryngology, HBOT is strongly indicated as the primary method of treatment in the following situations: treatment of mandibular osteoradionecrosis, prevention of mandibular osteoradionecrosis after dental extraction, treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), in all cases of compromised skin grafts and flaps (as soon as possible after the diagnosis of compromised grafts/tissues) and both pre- and postoperatively in cases where there is an increased risk for compromised skin grafts and flaps (e.g. irradiated or infected wound bed, immune compromised patient).
Experts also suggest HBOT in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis in other bones, soft tissue radionecrosis of the head and neck area, compromised skin grafts and in prevention or treatment of radio-induced lesions of the larynx, despite this last indication it is not yet supported by sufficiently strong evidence [9-10]. Recent studies have focused on its potential benefit in the minimization of post-radiation sequelae. However, more controlled and randomized studies are needed to broaden the indications of this form of treatment.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a long-established method of treatment that has been developed and adjusted to new scientific knowledge.
