2022-RA-1033-ESGO Efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in vulvectomy healing

Abstract

Introduction/Background Total vulvectomy is associated with high morbidity due to the frequency of healing complications. Skin flap plasty has improved management but there is a risk of necrosis, flap collapse and infection, hence the interest in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an adjuvant treatment for these complications. Methodology We compare the efficacy of HBOT on vulvectomy healing in two 60-year-old patients who underwent radical total vulvectomies in our department, the first for highgrade squamous intraepithelial lesions and the second for stage Ib squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva.
