Surgical Wound Healing And Management

By Richard L Gamelli and Mark S. Granick

Wound bed preparation can be defined as the process of removing dead tissue, debris, and contaminants from an injured site to facilitate healing and provide a more expedient means to patient recovery. This reference explores the critical role of surgery in wound bed preparation and management and provides a sound knowledge of wound mechanisms, physiology, and metabolic control. Founded on the expertise of internationally-recognized authorities, this source illustrates the many techniques utilized by surgeons to design optimal healing environments, maximize the efficacy of existing treatment modalities, and extract bacteria from a variety of wound situations resulting from burns, trauma, and disease.
