surgical wounds

Surgical wounds are injuries created during surgical procedures when the skin and underlying tissues are cut or opened. These wounds require careful management to promote healing and prevent infection. They can vary in depth and size, depending on the type of surgery performed. Proper care includes keeping the area clean, monitoring for signs of infection like redness or swelling, and following post-operative instructions from medical professionals. Healing time can vary, with some wounds closing quickly and others taking longer, depending on the individual’s health and the complexity of the surgery.
