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.
