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.
