post-operative wounds

A post-operative wound is the surgical incision made during a procedure, which allows the body to heal afterward. These wounds are carefully closed with stitches, staples, or glue to promote proper healing. During recovery, the skin and tissues repair themselves, but the wound may have swelling, redness, or slight pain. It's important to keep the wound clean and dry to prevent infection. Healing times vary depending on the procedure and individual health. Proper wound care supports healing, reduces complications, and helps the body recover effectively.
