Understanding hyperbaric oxygen therapy and its use in the treatment of compromised skin grafts and flaps.
Nonhealing wounds represent a problem involving inadequate oxygenation of the tissues that can lead to hypoxic injury. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used as an adjunctive therapy for compromised grafts and flaps that have failed to show improvement with standard wound therapy and offer additional physiologic benefits in the reversal of wound hypoxia and hypoperfusion. A literature review con...
متن کاملManagement of Complex Avulsion Injuries of the Dorsum of the Foot and Ankle in Pediatric Patients by Using Local Delayed Flaps and Skin Grafts
OBJECTIVE Avulsion injuries of the dorsum of the foot and ankle present difficult reconstructive problems especially in pediatric patients. Usually, there is exposure of bones, joints, tendons, or ligaments, which requires coverage by flaps. The best skin for coverage is the local skin, but the remaining intact skin is usually limited. Usage of such local skin necessitates elevation of long and...
متن کاملAn evidence-based appraisal of the use of hyperbaric oxygen on flaps and grafts.
Hyperbaric oxygen has been advocated, both as an adjunctive or primary form of treatment, for a variety of disorders, including gas gangrene, osteoradionecrosis, and carbon monoxide poisoning. It has also been used to improve ischemic wounds before skin grafting and to support ischemic flaps. In this review, we analyze the available literature that investigates the use of hyperbaric oxygen for ...
متن کاملPatterns of sensory and autonomic reinnervation of long-standing myocutaneous microvascular flaps and split-skin grafts applied to fascial beds.
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of reports in the literature examining the pattern of sensory and autonomic neural recovery of myocutaneous microvascular flaps and skin grafts to the lower limbs after a prolonged period of time. OBJECTIVES To investigate the recovery of sensation and autonomic nerve activity in long-standing split-skin grafts applied to fascial beds and in myocutaneous microvas...
متن کاملSkin grafts provide durable end-bearing coverage for lower-extremity amputations with critical soft tissue loss.
Lower-extremity amputations in the presence of soft tissue loss represent an unresolved conundrum because surgeons must consider sacrificing bone length to obtain adequate soft tissue coverage. Local flaps and microvascular soft tissue transfers are established strategies for maintaining residual limb length. However, the use of skin grafts remains controversial due to the presumed inferiority ...
