The deterioration of radiation proctitis after a course of acute urine retention successfully treated by Argon Plasma Coagulation
Abstract
Argon plasma coagulation (APC), a nontouch thermoablative therapy, is increasingly recommended as the treatment of choice for radiation proctitis. This paper described a case of recurrent hemorrhagic radiation proctitis after hyperbaric oxygen therapy that deteriorated after a course of acute urine retention successfully treated with APC.
