Study Notes
Aberrations of Inflammation & Repair
- Inadequate scar formation can lead to wound dehiscence or gaping, commonly seen in abdomen, and ulceration, seen in diabetic neuropathy.
- Hypertrophic scar/keloid formation is caused by excess collagen.
- Exuberant granulation tissue and wound contracture, often seen in burns, are also aberrations of inflammation and repair.
Wound Dehiscence
- Wound dehiscence is a common complication, often seen in the anterior abdominal wall.
- Various examples of wound dehiscence are provided.
Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars
- Keloids and hypertrophic scars are examples of aberrant wound healing.
- They are characterized by excess collagen formation.
Wound Contractures
- Wound contractures are a complication of wound healing, often seen after burns.
- Two examples of wound contractures are provided.
Wound Healing Process
- Healing and regeneration are distinct processes.
- Healing involves replacement of injured cells by fibrous tissue, resulting in scar formation.
- Regeneration, on the other hand, involves replacement of injured cells by cells of the same type.
Phases of Wound Healing
- Wound healing consists of four phases: haemostasis, inflammation, repair, and remodelling.
- Each phase interacts through complex cellular and molecular processes to establish and maintain wound closure.
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
- Complications of skin wound healing include aberrations of inflammation and repair, wound dehiscence, and wound contractures.
Complications of Skin Wound Healing
- Factors affecting skin wound healing include circulatory disorders, such as atherosclerosis, which can impede blood flow.
Primary and Secondary Intention Wound Healing
- Healing by primary union (1st intention) occurs in wounds with minimal or no skin loss.
- Healing by secondary union occurs when large tissue defects have to be refilled or when purulent infections prevent direct association of the wound edges.
Timeline of Wound Healing
- In primary union, tensile strength increases to 70-80% of unwounded skin in 3 months.
- In clean wounds post-surgery, the maximum immediate strength of the wound is reached between 13-18 days.
