Y1 - 2010 N1 - T2 - Wound Healing Evidence-Based Management, 4e AB - The most effective modality for chronic wound care remains surgical débridement. The goal of any wound care, acute or chronic, is always the same: closure and reepithelialization of the wound. Thus, the wound care practitioner must be familiar with some surgical wound techniques and procedures. This chapter presents wound care management from a surgical perspective. The patterns of wound healing, the preparation of the wound care bed, and advanced débridement and closure techniques are discussed. Some remarks concerning plastic and vascular surgical considerations conclude the chapter.
