Wound Healing and Wound Management for Surgeons

In this video, I first go over the basic physiology of wound healing. I then discuss patient factors that impede the healing process as well as some common wound healing complications. Lastly, I go over basic wound managment principles. These are the sources I used to put together this talk: 1. Schwartz’s Principles of Surgery, 10th ed., Pgs 241 - 268 2. Sabiston’s Textbook of surgery, 20th ed., Pgs 130 - 160 3. UpToDate. Basic Principles of Wound Management. David G. Armstrong, DPM, MD, PhD, Andrew J. Meyr, DPM. June 08, 2021, pgs 1 – 42. 4. UpToDate. Complications of Abdominal Surgical Incisions. Mizell, Jason. May 2018, pgs 7 – 10.
