Abstract: The outcomes of surgical reconstruction for patients who have undergone extensive tumor resection of the mandible and associated soft tissue have been less than desirable for many reasons: lack of cancer cure, radiation problems, as well as inadequate...

Abstract: Treatment of patients with osteoradionecrosis of the mandible with a pathologic fracture consists in almost all cases of a continuity resection of the mandible. This leads to functional and esthetic problems that can only be solved by often extensive...
Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of postoperative hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on wound breakdown following radical vulvectomy. A prospective, observational study was performed on patients undergoing radical vulvectomy from October...
Abstract: Radiation enteric disorders are rare and difficult to treat. A case of radiation duodenitis treated by hyperbaric oxygen is reported. A sixty-year-old man underwent right nephroureterectomy, chemotherapy (platin and 5 fluorouracil) and radiation therapy (54...
Abstract: The article examines current laboratory and clinical information with respect to the relative importance of tumor hypoxia to the radiation control of carcinoma of the cervix. Its impact is difficult to quantify because of interrelated important parameters,...
Abstract: A pilot study on intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) combined with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in nonresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was performed in 31 patients (mean age: 66.2 years, range: 51-80; 10 anatomically and...
Abstract: The usefulness of the hyperbaric oxygenation in a patient with radiation colitis was evaluated. The patient had severe bleeding from the large bowel which resulted from a pelvic radiation therapy for prostatic carcinoma and was histologically diagnosed as...
Abstract: A technique for closure of lateral or terminal defects in the bronchial wall after tissue-saving procedures, which obviates the need for sleeve resection in few selected situations, is described. Its main advantages are a low risk of surgical complications...
Abstract: Spontaneous osteoradionecrosis of the mandible is an oral complication of radiation therapy. Bone necrosis, unrelated to trauma or infection, is more common when high doses of radiation, including interstitial implants, are delivered to a large bone volume....
