Abstract
-
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen on radiation cystitis have been reported in patients with radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis refractory to conventional therapy. Cessation of gross hematuria and reversal of cystoscopic bladder changes were seen in response to a series of hyperbaric oxygen therapy of 3 atmosphere absolute pressure for 2 hours. We report the experience of 2 cases of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation-induced cystitis.
