Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help salvage compromised skin grafts and tissue flaps during breast reconstructions to achieve full and healthy recovery.
Muscle flap surgery can be utilized in much the same way as skin flaps and grafts, and can be aided by hyperbaric oxygen therapy should any complications arise following the procedure.
