The Use of Oxygen Therapy in Management of Mastectomy Flap Ischemia.
Oxygen plays a major role in wound healing by improving vessel growth and facilitating wound closure. Topical oxygen therapy has been widely accepted as a treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, but its benefit in compromised flaps and grafts in the field of plastic surgery has gained traction. It is possible to decrease flap necrosis and increase viability with topical oxygen therapy. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman who received topical oxygen therapy to treat postmastectomy areas of skin necrosis. As the patient underwent treatment using topical oxygen therapy to the mastectomy flaps, skin demarcation of bilateral breasts continued to improve and eventually completely resolved. This case demonstrated the significant ability of topical oxygen therapy to promote wound healing in flap ischemia.
期刊介绍:
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open is an open access, peer reviewed, international journal focusing on global plastic and reconstructive surgery.Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open publishes on all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including basic science/experimental studies pertinent to the field and also clinical articles on such topics as: breast reconstruction, head and neck surgery, pediatric and craniofacial surgery, hand and microsurgery, wound healing, and cosmetic and aesthetic surgery. Clinical studies, experimental articles, ideas and innovations, and techniques and case reports are all welcome article types. Manuscript submission is open to all surgeons, researchers, and other health care providers world-wide who wish to communicate their research results on topics related to plastic and reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open, a complimentary journal to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, provides an open access venue for the publication of those research studies sponsored by private and public funding agencies that require open access publication of study results. Its mission is to disseminate high quality, peer reviewed research in plastic and reconstructive surgery to the widest possible global audience, through an open access platform. As an open access journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open offers its content for free to any viewer. Authors of articles retain their copyright to the materials published. Additionally, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open provides rapid review and publication of accepted papers.
