Louise http://www2.curative.com/Cuebic/Curative/me.get?web.websections.show&CURATIVE_12\ 15#skin Radiation Tissue Damage: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the Gold Standard of Care in reconstructive surgery involving radiated bone or soft tissue. In proper coordination with surgical treatment, HBO has reoriented the approach to the repair of radiation damaged tissue. It has been shown to stimulate growth of functioning capillaries, fibroblastic proliferation, and collagen synthesis in the irradiated bone and soft tissue. Improved healing rates and reduced complication rates are seen in a coordinated reconstructive program using adjunctive HBO. Skin Grafts, Flaps and Replants: Following ischemia or vascular repair in cases where there has been decreased microcirculation, HBO has been demonstrated to maximize the viability and final functional level of the compromised nerve and muscle tissue.
