Detailed explanation-1: -When there is more extensive loss of cells, or surface wounds that create large defects, the reparative process is more complicated. Granulation tissue grows in from the margins to complete the repair. These wounds heal with an ugly scar [17].
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary intention healing means a wound will be left open (rather than being stitched together) and left to heal by itself, filling in and closing up naturally. It will mean you need regular dressings to the area for up to six weeks, but the time to full healing depends on the size, depth and site of the wound.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary wound healing, or secondary intention wound healing, occurs when a wound that cannot be stitched causes a large amount of tissue loss.
Detailed explanation-4: -Two examples of common wounds treated with secondary intention are pressure sores and diabetic foot. Secondary intention requires a longer healing time and daily attention to treatment is necessarynecesssary.
Detailed explanation-5: -Healing by second intention, also known as secondary closure, is the healing of a wound in which a gap is left between its edges. Union occurs by granulation tissue formation from the base and the sides. This requires epithelial migration, collagen deposition, contraction, and remodeling during healing.
