THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF OZONIZED OLIVE OIL IN THE TREATMENT OF INTRACTABLE FISTULA AND WOUND AFTER SURGICAL OPERATION

Abstract

20 patients at several hospitals who underwent surgical operation between August 1998 to August 2000 had ozonized olive oil applied to their intractable fistula or wounds. The ozonized olive oil treatment was fully effective in 19 of the cases. The one exception was for a case of pilonidal sinus. Ozonized olive oil was especially effective in treating intractable abdominal fistula to digestive tract after surgical operation. No adverse side effects were observed in the administration of the ozonized olive oil. It was fully effective for a discharge of pus and the formation of granulation.
