There are three main types of wound healing: primary intention, secondary intention, and tertiary intention. Primary intention involves closing clean wounds with sutures, leading to rapid healing and a neat scar. Secondary intention involves leaving wounds open to heal, resulting in a longer healing time and larger scar. Tertiary intention involves initially leaving contaminated wounds open to clean before later closure, aiming to prevent chronic inflammation and scarring. Complications can include hypertrophic scarring, keloids, contractures, wound dehiscence, adhesions, and infection.
