Study Notes
Complications of Wound Healing
- Infection: A common complication that can hinder the healing process.
- Implantation (Epidermal) Cyst Formation: Occurs when epidermal cells become trapped in the dermis, leading to cysts.
- Wound Contraction: A crucial physiological process during the active granulation phase, contributing to closure of the wound.
- Presence of Infection: Infection risk can be mitigated through debridement and surgical removal of necrotic tissue.
Factors That Impair Wound Healing
- Poor Blood Supply: Reduces oxygen and nutrient delivery, compromising immune response and overall healing.
- Foreign Bodies: The presence of foreign materials, such as sutures, can irritate the wound, lead to inflammation, and increase the risk of infection, ultimately delaying healing.
