SURGICAL ALTERNATIVES FOR WOUNDS
Nursing Clinics of North America, 1999Surgical alternatives in wound care are a primary consideration for the treatment of nonhealing and traumatic wounds. Using the Reconstructive Ladder as an outline, this article provides an overview of preoperative wound care and the indications for surgical options in wound care. An overview of nursing care is highlighted as each option is reviewed to

Surgical wound assessment by sonography in the prediction of surgical wound infections
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2016Surgical site infections (SSIs) are important sources of morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and readmissions, so they have become a major economic burden. We hypothesized that surgical wound assessment by sonography (SWATS) used at the bedside would detect wound fluid collections and that the presence of such collections would predict SSI better than

It is clear that the alterations in wound healing caused by irradiation and chemotherapy are due to reduced rates of collagen production, probably from adverse effects of irradiation and chemotherapy on fibroblasts. The effect is to slow the process of wound healing so much that there is significantly more time for a complication to occur.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
People are the major source of bacterial contamination in the hospital environment, and to control environmental bacteria, the shedding potential of people must be controlled. In a conventional operating room, the more complete the surgical attire worn by everyone in the room, the better the control; i.e., body exhaust equipment for the ...

Abdominal incisions typically are covered with conventional gauze or not dressed at all, since it is commonly believed that dressings do not influence the healing process. Also, patient personal hygiene is not facilitated when gauze type dressings are used, and frequent changes are time consuming and sometimes painful. Following creation of an adjacent

Debridement for surgical wounds
Cochrane Database of Systematic ReviewsSurgical wounds that become infected are often debrided because clinicians believe that removal of this necrotic or infected tissue may expedite wound healing. There are numerous methods of debridement available, but no consensus on which one is most effective for surgical wounds.To assess the effects of different methods of debridement on the rate of ...

Dressing for surgical wounds of the penis
Urology, 1996We describe a simple tubular elastic gauze dressing for surgical wounds of the penis. The amount of pressure placed on the penis is consistent and reproducible. The material is elastic enough to avoid vascular occlusion and is easily applied with a plastic tube. The dressing stays in place, can be used with stents or catheters, and is easily removed by

Evidence-based surgical wound care on surgical wound infection
British Journal of Nursing, 2002Surgical wound infection is an important outcome indicator in the postoperative period. A 3-year prospective cohort epidemiological study of 2202 surgical patients from seven surgical wards, across two hospitals, was carried out using gold standard surveillance methodology.
