Tissue approximation

Tissue approximation is a medical technique used to close a wound by bringing the edges of injured tissue together. This promotes proper healing, minimizes scarring, and reduces infection risk. The process often involves sutures, staples, or adhesives to align the tissue edges precisely. By ensuring the tissue edges heal neatly, tissue approximation helps restore normal function and appearance of the injured area. It’s a common and essential step in surgical wound care and injury management.
