Study Notes

Wound Healing

Granulation tissue consists of fibroblasts and new capillaries.

Delayed Wound Healing

Delayed wound healing occurs in immunocompromised patients or patients with leucopenia (e.g., from cancer, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy) due to reduced cellular count.

Pre-Operative Preparation

Patients should have protein profiling done before surgery to identify and compensate for any protein or albumin deficiencies.
A negative nitrogen balance can occur, leading to impaired wound healing.

Wound Characteristics

Elevation of the scar line occurs normally during the healing process.
Pathological elevation beyond the wound line can occur, particularly on bones.

Alternative Treatment Methods

Laser sessions can be used to aid in wound healing.
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is another treatment option.

Description

This quiz covers the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization in the wound healing process. It involves the deposition of fibroblasts and new capillaries, and occurs after the renewal of underlying tissues.
