peer agreement (net): +3secondary wound closure or skin graft Explanation: secondary wound closure http://practicalplasticsurgery.org/docs/Practical_10.pdf Secondary wound closure is also referred to as closure by secondary intention. The skin edges of the wound are not sutured together; the wound is left “open.” Dressings are applied regularly to keep the wound clean, and the wound gradually closes and heals on its own. Secondary wound closure requires little technical expertise. It is the simplest and, therefore, lowest rung on the “reconstructive ladder.” This chapter discusses the important background knowledge you must have when deciding to allow secondary wound closure. |
