Surgical wounds can be classified based on cleanliness from clean to dirty. Wound healing involves three phases - inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling. The inflammatory phase begins immediately after injury and involves hemostasis and inflammation. The proliferative phase lasts 2-3 weeks and involves granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, and collagen deposition. During the remodeling phase, collagen matures and wound strength increases. Factors like nutrition, infection, and underlying illness can influence wound healing. Different tissues like bone, nerve, and tendon heal through similar phases but with tissue-specific processes like callus formation or nerve regeneration. Wound closure techniques include primary intention, secondary intention, and tertiary intention.
this a basic presentation which I got inspired to do after seeing some presentations made on slideshare. It basically covers types of wounds,wound healing process,factors affecting wound healing and wound care.
The document discusses wound healing and its three phases: inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling. It defines wound healing and the two processes of tissue regeneration and scar formation. The inflammatory phase involves hemostasis, recruitment of inflammatory cells, and late events like lymphocyte and mast cell entry. The proliferative phase involves granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, contraction, and epithelialization. Remodeling involves the formation of new collagen to increase tensile strength over months. Factors influencing healing and potential complications are also outlined.
This document provides an overview of the three phases of wound healing: inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling. It describes the key cellular and molecular processes that occur in each phase, including hemostasis, inflammation, granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, epithelialization, and collagen deposition/remodeling. Complications of wound healing like deficient or excessive scarring, dehiscence, and exaggerated contraction are also summarized. The roles of various growth factors like PDGF, EGF, VEGF, and cytokines in stimulating and orchestrating wound repair are highlighted. Factors that can delay or impair healing, such as infection, poor nutrition, diabetes, and large wound size/location are also reviewed.
1. Wound healing occurs in 3 phases: inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling. In the inflammatory phase, hemostasis and an inflammatory response begin the healing process. In the proliferative phase, new tissue such as granulation tissue and blood vessels form. In the remodeling phase, the wound gains strength through collagen deposition and remodeling.
2. Wounds can heal through primary intention with wound edges in direct apposition or secondary intention with gap formation. Primary intention involves direct regeneration while secondary intention uses granulation tissue.
3. Factors that can influence healing include nutrition, infection, wound size/location, and metabolic status. Complications include deficient healing, excessive scarring, and exaggerated wound contraction.

The document summarizes wound healing processes and factors that affect wound healing. It discusses the four main phases of wound healing - hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. It describes the cell types and growth factors involved in each phase. Chronic wounds fail to progress through these normal phases due to factors like ischemia, diabetes, venous disease or pressure. Local factors that can impair healing include infection, foreign bodies, inadequate blood supply or oxygenation, wound size, wound edge quality, and wound moisture. Proper wound care aims to address these factors to optimize the healing process.
Healing occurs through regeneration or repair and involves granulation tissue formation. Regeneration fully replaces damaged tissue, while repair uses scar tissue. Granulation tissue forms within 1-3 days from new blood vessels and fibroblasts, filling wounds within a week. Primary wound healing occurs with minimal tissue loss and a thin scar. Secondary healing involves more tissue loss and granulation, with a substantial scar and possible wound contraction. Factors like infection, foreign bodies, wound size/location, and nutrition influence healing. Complications include deficient or excessive scarring that cause issues like dehiscence, hernias, hypertrophic scarring, and contractures.
This document discusses tissue repair and wound healing. It begins by defining key terms like repair, regeneration, and healing. It then describes the phases of wound healing as inflammation, granulation tissue formation, and remodeling. The two main types of wound healing are primary intention for clean surgical wounds and secondary intention for wounds with more tissue loss. The process of each is described, involving inflammation, new blood vessel formation, collagen deposition, and epithelialization. Factors that influence healing like nutrition, infection, and wound size are also outlined. Complications can include dehiscence, contractures, and excessive scar formation.
The document discusses wound healing and provides details on the various phases of wound healing including hemostasis and inflammation, proliferation, and maturation and remodeling. It also discusses factors that can affect wound healing such as age, hypoxia/anemia, steroids/chemotherapy drugs, metabolic disorders, and nutrition. Wound healing follows predictable phases but can be impaired by certain systemic or local factors.
This document discusses wound healing and the healing process after tooth extraction. It defines a wound and classifies wounds based on origin, contamination, and depth. The two main processes of healing are regeneration and repair. Repair involves granulation tissue formation and wound contraction. There are two types of wound healing: primary intention and secondary intention. Healing after tooth extraction involves blood clot formation, fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis, and bone remodeling over 4 weeks. Complications can include dry socket and fibrous union.
Wound healing involves distinct but overlapping phases of haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The document defines and classifies different types of wounds and discusses factors affecting wound healing.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, including definitions, classifications of wounds, and the phases of healing. It discusses the healing process for soft tissues as well as specialized healing for nerves and bone. The four main phases of wound healing are bleeding, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Factors that can affect healing and potential complications are also mentioned.
The document discusses wounds and the wound healing process. It defines a wound as a break in the skin or tissue integrity caused by injury. Wounds are classified based on various factors like cleanliness, depth, and type. The healing process involves three phases - inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling. The inflammatory phase prepares the wound for healing. In proliferation, new tissue is formed through granulation. Remodeling provides increased strength over months. Healing occurs through regeneration or repair, with the former restoring original tissue and the latter resulting in scar tissue. Growth factors play important roles in the complex cellular cascade of wound healing.
Repair and healing involve regeneration and scar formation in response to tissue injury. Repair restores tissue structure and function while healing is the inflammatory response. Tissues are categorized as labile, stable, or permanent based on their ability to regenerate. Cell growth and division is regulated in phases including G1, S, G2, and M. Cutaneous wound healing involves hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling phases. Factors that influence healing include infection, poor blood supply, and systemic issues like nutrition.
The document discusses types and management of wounds. It describes different types of wounds based on duration (acute or chronic), object causing the wound (open or closed), and penetration (penetrating or non-penetrating). It also outlines the four phases of wound healing - inflammation, debridement, repair, and maturation. Finally, it provides guidance on managing open and closed wounds, including cleaning, debridement, drainage, closure techniques, and bandaging.
The document discusses the process of healing through regeneration and repair. Regeneration replaces lost tissue with identical new tissue, while repair replaces it with scar tissue. Whether healing occurs through regeneration or repair depends on the type of damaged cells (labile, stable, or permanent) and the extent of damage to supporting structures. The healing process involves inflammation, removal of dead tissue, new tissue growth, and replacement of injured areas. Complications can arise if healing is deficient, excessive, or involves contracture of new tissue.
This document summarizes the processes of healing, including regeneration and repair. It describes the four phases of wound healing: inflammation, demolition, granulation tissue formation, and matrix remodeling/scar formation. Key factors that influence healing include the type of injured cells (labile, stable, or permanent), the extent of tissue damage, and growth factors involved in the molecular control of the healing cascades. Healing occurs primarily by regeneration when the wound is minor or by repair/scarring for more extensive wounds with loss of tissue.
This document discusses wound healing and its stages. It begins by defining wounds and ulcers, and classifying wounds. The main stages of wound healing discussed are inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Inflammation begins immediately after injury and involves vasodilation, increased permeability, and immune cell infiltration. Proliferation involves cell migration, angiogenesis, and re-epithelialization. Remodeling occurs over months as collagen is reorganized and strengthened. Disturbances like infection, radiation, and malnutrition can impair healing. Hypertrophic scarring and keloids represent excessive healing with increased collagen deposition.
This document discusses wound healing and factors that affect it. It describes the stages of wound healing as inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Key events in each stage are also outlined, such as neutrophil migration during inflammation and collagen deposition during proliferation. Factors that can disturb normal wound healing like infection, smoking, radiation, malnutrition and systemic diseases are also summarized. The goal of wound management is to create an optimal environment for the natural healing process.
The document discusses healing and repair processes in the body. It describes regeneration as the ability to replace damaged components and return to normal. Regeneration occurs through proliferation of residual cells in tissues like skin and liver. Healing involves inflammation, proliferation of cells like fibroblasts, and maturation of connective tissue to form a scar. For small wounds with only epithelial damage, healing occurs through primary intention involving regeneration of epithelial cells. Larger wounds heal through secondary intention, involving more inflammation and granulation tissue formation leading to an irregular scar.
1. Wound repair involves four phases - hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling - to restore the integrity of injured skin and tissue.
2. During hemostasis, platelets form clots to seal damaged blood vessels. In inflammation, neutrophils and macrophages remove debris and fight infection.
3. Proliferation involves granulation, re-epithelialization, and contraction to regrow tissue. Remodeling strengthens the repaired tissue over months.
The document discusses the stages of wound healing including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, and the factors that influence wound healing such as wound type, patient health, and environmental conditions. It also covers abnormal wound healing which can result in hypertrophic or keloid scarring, and treatments for scarring including pressure therapy, steroid injections, and surgery.

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
2. Wound Definition
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues often,
which may be associated with disruption of the structure and
function.
4. II. Classification of surgical wounds
a. Clean wou nd(2%)
Herniorrhaphy.
Excisions.
Surgeries of the brain, joints, heart, transplant.
b. Clean contaminated wound (10%)
Appendicectomy.
Bowel surgeries, gastrojejunostomy.
Gallbladder, biliary and pancreatic surgeries.
6. Classification based on the type of the wound
1. Clean incised wound: It is a tidy, simple, clean cut wound with
• linear cut edges; usually due to a sharp object like blade, glass
• piece or knife. It is treated by primary suturing.
7. Lacerated wound:
It has ragged edges with some part of the tissues getting devitalized;
viability of the tissues may be impaired;
depth of the injury and tissue damage should be carefully assessed.
Proper adequate wound excision,.
8. Bruise or contusion:
It is due to blow or blunt force to the skin and tissues underneath
wherein blood vessels or capillaries are damaged underneath.
There is skin discoloration without breaking of the skin; broken
vessels cause seepage of blood underneath; minor soft tissue injury
crushes small vessels without breaking the skin accumulating trapped
blood underneath.
It is more on the skin over the bones; lax area like face, scrotum,
eyes; vascular areas; children, old aged, fair skin people.
9. Haematoma:
It is a localized collection of blood after blunt trauma or after surgery.
Collected fluid blood in few minutes to hours gets clotted; later
eventually it gets liquefied and shows discoloured fluid.
Large haematoma needs drainage under general or regional
anaesthesia.
Small haematoma usually gets absorbed (like scalp haematoma).
10.
11. Abrasion:
It is superficial injury (scratch/graze/pressure/ contact) and is due to
shearing of the skin where the surface is rubbed off.
This tangential force causes loss of epidermis exposing dermal
vessels and nerves leading into profuse painful oozing.
Abrasion heals by epithelialization.
12. Traction and avulsion injuries:
These are complex injuries with tissues getting displaced from its
normal anatomical position and alignment.
Degloving
occurs when the skin and subcutaneous fat are stripped by avulsion
from the underlying fascia, leaving neurovascular structures, tendon or
bone exposed.
13.
14. 1. Definition.
Wound healing is a mechanism whereby the body attempts
to restore the integrity of the injured part.
15. NORMAL WOUND HEALING
This is variously described as taking place in three or four phases, the
most commonly agreed being:
1 . Hemostatic and inflammatory phase;
2 . Proliferative phase;
3 . Remodelling phase (maturing phase).
16. 1 . Hemostasis and inflammatory phase
Begins immediately after wounding and lasts 2–3 days.
Bleeding is followed by vasoconstriction and thrombus
formation to limit blood loss.
Platelets stick to the damaged endothelial lining of vessels,
releasing adenosine diphosphate (ADP), which causes
thrombocytic aggregates to fill the wound.
17. When bleeding stops, the platelets then release several cytokines from
their alpha granules.
These are platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), platelet factor IV
and transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ).
These attract inflammatory cells such as polymorphonuclear
leukocytes (PMN) and macrophages
18. Platelets and the local injured tissue release vasoactive amines,
such as histamine, serotonin and prostaglandins, which increase
vascular permeability, thereby aiding infiltration of these
inflammatory cells.
Macrophages remove devitalised tissue and microorganisms
while regulating fibroblast activity in the proliferative phase of
healing.
The initial framework for structural support of cells is provided
by fibrin produced by fibrinogen.
19. PMNs
are the first infiltrating cells to enter the wound site, peaking at 24
to 48 hours.
Functions:
Primary role is phagocytosis of bacteria and tissue debris.
Major source of cytokines early during inflammation, especially
TNF-α3
TNF-α3: angiogenesis and collagen synthesis.
Release proteases (collagenases), which participate in matrix
and ground substance degradation in the early phase of wound
healing.
not appear to play a role in collagen deposition or acquisition of
mechanical wound strength
20. Macrophages,
participate in wound débridement via phagocytosis
The macrophage’s most pivotal function is activation and recruitment
of other cells via mediators such as cytokines and growth factors.
By releasing such mediators as TGF-β, vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), epithelial growth
factor (EGF), and lactate, macrophages regulate cell proliferation,
matrix synthesis, and angiogenesis.
Macrophages also play a significant role in regulating angiogenesis
and matrix deposition and remodeling
21. Clinicaly in inflammatory phase patient present with
1. rubor (redness),
2. Tumor (swelling),
3. calor (heat)
4. dolor (pain).
22. 2. Proliferative phase.
Lasts from the third day to the third week,
Consisting mainly of
fibroblast activity with the production of collagen and ground
substance(glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans),
the growth of new blood vessels as capillary loops (angioneogenesis)
the re-epithelialization of the wound surface.
23. The wound tissue formed in the early part of this phase is called
granulation tissue.
In the latter part of this phase, there is an increase in the tensile strength
of the wound due to increased collagen, which is at first deposited in a
random fashion and consists of type III collagen.
This proliferative phase with its increase of collagen deposition is
associated with wound contraction, which can considerably reduce the
surface area of a wound over the first 3 weeks of healing.
24. 3. The remodelling phase
Characterized by maturation of collagen (type I replacing type III until a
ratio of 4:1 is achieved).
There is a realignment of collagen fibres along the lines of tension,
decreased wound vascularity, and wound contraction due to fibroblast
and myofibroblast activity.
This maturation of collagen leads to increased tensile strength in the
wound which is maximal at the 12th week post injury and represents
approximately 80% of the uninjured skin strength.
25. Factors influencing healing of a wound
Site of the wound
Structures involved
Mechanism of wounding
Incision Crush
Crush avulsion
Contamination (foreign bodies/bacteria)a
Loss of tissue
Other local factors
Vascular insufficiency (arterial or venous)
Previous radiation
Pressure
26. ● Systemic factors
Malnutrition or vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Disease (e.g. diabetes mellitus)
Medications (e.g. steroids)
Immune deficiencies (e.g. chemotherapy, AIDS)
Smoking
27. Bone
The phases are as above,
but periosteal and endosteal proliferation leads to the formation of callus, which is
immature bone consisting of osteoid (mineralised by hydroxyapatite and laid down
by osteoblasts).
In the remodelling phase, cortical structure and the medullary cavity are restored.
If fracture ends are accurately opposed and rigidly fixed, callus formation is minimal
and primary healing occurs.
If a gap exists, then secondary healing may lead to delayed union, non-union or
malunion.
28. Nerve
Distal to the wound, Wallerian degeneration occurs.
Proximally, the nerve suffers traumatic degeneration as far as the last
node of Ranvier.
The regenerating nerve fibres are attracted to their receptors by
neurotrophism, which is mediated by growth factors, hormones and
other extracellular matrix trophins.
Nerve regeneration is characterized by profuse growth of new nerve
fibres which sprout from the cut proximal end.
Overgrowth of these, coupled with poor approximation, may lead to
neuroma formation.
29. Tendon
Repair follows the normal pattern of wound healing,
There are two main mechanisms whereby nutrients, cells and new
vessels reach the severed tendon.
These are intrinsic, which consists of vincular blood flow and
synovial diffusion,
And extrinsic, which depends on the formation of fibrous
adhesions between the tendon and the tendon sheath.
30. The random nature of the initial collagen produced means that the
tendon lacks tensile strength for the first 3–6 weeks.
Active mobilisation prevents adhesions limiting range of motion, but
the tendon must be protected by splintage in order to avoid rupture of
the repair.
31. Classification of wound closure and healing
● Primary intention
• Wound edges opposed
• Normal healing
• Minimal scar
32. Secondary intention
• Wound left open
• Heals by granulation, contraction and epithelialisation
• Increased inflammation and proliferation
• Poor scar
33. Tertiary intention (also called delayed primary intention)
• Wound initially left open
• Edges later opposed when healing conditions favourable
