Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Post operative woundhealing problems in the neurosurgical patient can be particularly bothersome, owing to various specific risk factors involved. These may vary from simple wound dehiscence to complex multilayer defects with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and contamination. The latter is quite rare in practice and requires an individually titrated reconstruction strategy Optimal management of postoperative wounds in the wards is important to prevent potential complications such as surgicalsite infections and wound dehiscence from developing. As such, Resident doctors, who play an important part in the subacute management of postoperative wounds, should appreciate the physiology of wound healing and the principles of postoperative wound care.
