Summary:

Wound bed preparation can be defined as the process of removing dead tissue, debris, and contaminants from an injured site to facilitate healing and provide a more expedient means to patient recovery. This reference explores the critical role of surgery in wound bed preparation and management and provides a sound knowledge of wound mechanisms, physiology, and metabolic control. Founded on the expertise of internationally-recognized authorities, this source illustrates the many techniques utilized by surgeons to design optimal healing environments, maximize the efficacy of existing treatment modalities, and extract bacteria from a variety of wound situations resulting from burns, trauma, and disease.

Describing the factors that influence surgical wound healing and the risk of surgical site infection, this source provides in-depth examinations of a variety of clinical situations with numerous full-color photographs...contains extensive coverage of techniques for the debridement of leg and foot ulcers, infected orthopedic prostheses, surgical wounds, and pressure ulcers...discusses new approaches for treating difficult-to-heal wounds...helps clinicians correct chronic wounds more quickly by treating the cause of the patient's non-healing wound and applying evidence-based, medical and surgical techniques...provides an in-depth history of surgical wound care and proposes a new classification system for debrievement of both chronic and acute wounds...and outlines how to obtain a surgically clean wound in preparation for surgical closure.
