Reddened, inflamed tissue is biologically active; it has a rich vascular supply, and it rapidly forms collagen, the primary wound protein and major component of scars.
There was a good primary wound healing.
Primary wound closure is not essential.
Primary wound healing was achieved in all patients.
There were statistically significant differences in the location of primary wound between fatal and nonfatal assaults.
Therefore, intact primary wound coverage is mandatory for a good prognosis.
Primary wound closure was performed with Gore-Tex® sutures (W.L. Gore & Associates, Newark, DE, USA).
b) In the test group, primary wound closure was achieved at surgery (left).
c) In the control group, primary wound closure was achieved (left).
Therefore, in esthetic challenging situations, efforts should be made to achieve primary wound closure and to avoid subsequent membrane exposure.
Primary wound closure incorporates suture, tissue adhesive, staples, and strips individually or in conjunction with each other.
