Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers presented a case report of a successful nose replantation in a 2-year-old girl, assisted by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

What They Found

They found that a 2-year-old girl underwent successful nose replantation with the assistance of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Documented changes in graft appearance were observed during initial hyperbaric oxygen treatment, and follow-up was conducted at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was not conducted in Canada or by Canadian researchers.

Study Limitations

A key limitation is that it is a single case report, making it uncertain if hyperbaric oxygen therapy definitively ensured the replanted nose's survival.
