    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.
