Impact of perioperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the quality of life of maxillofacial patients who undergo surgery in irradiated fields

Longitudinal evaluation of health-related quality of life after osteoradionecrosis of the mandible

“…If multiple records were available, those closest to 12 months were selected. The median (IQR) time from diagnosis of ORN to the record selected was 11 (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) months, and the medians of the 4 groups ranged from 9 to 14 months. Adjustment for overall survival to 3 months gave a 49% response for the data.…”

“…[11][12][13] Only 2 of them report on patients before and after treatment, 11,12 and in both it is difficult to tease out the effect of operation in combination with HBO. Potential improvements were seen in emotional function, insomnia, social eating, xerostomia, and "teeth".…”

A systematic review of salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia induced by cancer therapies: management strategies and economic impact

“…Two studies reported on irradiated head and neck cancer patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen treatment as part of the treatment/prevention of osteoradionecrosis and suggested that there may be a decrease in xerostomia following hyperbaric oxygen treatment [150,151]. Either the hyperbaric oxygen treatment was applied perioperative [151] or the mean time between application of hyperbaric oxygen treatment and the end of radiation therapy was 23 months (range 4-82 months) [150].…”

“…Either the hyperbaric oxygen treatment was applied perioperative [151] or the mean time between application of hyperbaric oxygen treatment and the end of radiation therapy was 23 months (range 4-82 months) [150]. Moreover, both studies did not include a control group.…”

Intérêt de l’utilisation de l’oxygénothérapie hyperbare en prévention de l’échec implantaire chez le patient irradié

“…et l'esthétique [8,9]. Cependant l'implantologie n'est pas la panacée car elle ne permet pas de compenser toutes les séquelles fonctionnelles liées à la radiothérapie ou à la chirurgie (xérostomie, limitation de l'ouverture buccale, troubles de la sensibilité et de la motricité locales, perte du goût), séquelles dont les conséquences sur l'alimentation et le confort peuvent être importantes [1] Survie des implants en terrain irradié L'impact de la radiothérapie sur le tissu osseux est communément décrit par la règle des 3 H : hypocellularité, hypovascularité et hypoxie [10][11][12].…”
