What Researchers Did
Researchers reported a case of a patient with a refractory rectal ulcer after argon plasma coagulation who was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
In this single case report, the patient experienced complete resolution of the rectal ulcer after receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be an effective alternative for patients with refractory argon plasma coagulation-induced rectal ulcers.
