Impact of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on complex perineal fistula healing
HBOT was associated with lower recurrence after stoma reversal and with more durable healing in fistulas that had already failed multiple prior repairs, without changing stoma reversal rates. These data suggest that HBOT may be a useful adjunct in the reconstructive strategy for complex recurrent perineal fistulas.
