Abstract:Skin grafting is a critical procedure for treating skin defects from burns, trauma, and surgical interventions, yet complications such as ischemia, necrosis, and infection can limit graft success. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has emerged as a promising adjunctive treatment that enhances skin graft viability through mechanisms including enhanced oxygenation, angiogenesis, reduced inflammation, and anti-infective effects. This review synthesizes findings from clinical studies, comparative analyses, and case … Show more
