Incisional wounds are injuries that occur when the skin is cut open, typically during surgical procedures. These wounds are created intentionally by a surgeon using a scalpel or other surgical instruments. The depth and length of an incisional wound can vary depending on the type of surgery being performed. Healing of incisional wounds usually involves several stages, including inflammation, tissue formation, and remodeling. Proper care is essential to prevent complications such as infection or poor healing. Factors like patient health, surgical technique, and post-operative care can significantly influence the healing process.
