Innovative Use of dHACM in Conjunction With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to Treat a Nonhealing Nasal Wound Subsequent to Squamous Cell Carcinoma Resection and Radiation: A Case Study.

CONCLUSIONS: This treatment approach ultimately resulted in complete reepithelization of the wound, and a decrease in defect area. The patient's symptoms of nasal drainage and physical discomfort due to air passage through the fistula also had resolved completely. Although the fistula was still present at the conclusion of treatment, the tract was well-epithelialized and overall size of the defect diminished greatly. PMID: 30924794 [PubMed - in process]
