Abstract

Background: Poor healing rates of perineal wounds are a common occurrence following abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. Methods to facilitate wound healing have become a focus for treatment, with added benefits of reducing pain and improving prognosis.

Method: In recent years, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) has generated substantial interest within the fields of basic research and clinical rehabilitation. In particular, the use of HILT has been shown to have benefits in healing perineal wounds after eight weeks of treatment. This study investigated the effects of HILT on accelerating the healing of a postoperative perineal wound.

Case presentation: The case of a 65-year-old man who had undergone abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer is presented. Poor wound healing rates with severe pain occurred following the surgery, and HILT was used for treatment.

Conclusion: Our results showed that HILT facilitated wound healing, consequently decreasing pain and improving treatment and prognosis.
