Summary :
Introduction: In head and neck cancers, complications such as pharyngostoma, orostoma, or fistula can present following surgery or surgery after irradiation. Objective: To report the results of the association of two sea-derived products (Sinomarin® and Algosteril®) compared to normal saline for the management of healing. Material and Methods: This is retrospective study (1998-2000). Thirty patients were included in group 1 (Sinomarin®-Algosteril®) and 17 patients in group 2 (normal saline). The average age was respectively 60 and 56.2. Patients in both groups presented with advanced head and neck carcinoma (T3-T4) and healing complications. Results: The delay of healing was respectively of 33.53 and 72.94 days. Results were statistically significant (Student T-test P< 0.05). Conclusion: Our results show the efficiency (p< 0.05) of the Sinomarin® Algosteril® association in head and neck cancer healing complications.
