PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Primary wound healing, or primary intention wound healing, refers to when doctors close a wound using staples, stitches, glues, or other forms of wound-closing processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Healing by first (primary) intention, or primary closure, refers to the healing of a wound in which the edges are closely re-approximated. In this type of wound healing, union or restoration of continuity occurs directly with minimal granulation tissue and scar formation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Healing by first intention or Primary intention healing happens when the wound edges are approximated e.g. by sutures, staples or glue. Healing by second intention or Secondary intention healing takes place when the wound edges cannot be approximated and the wound needs to heal from the bottom.

Detailed explanation-4: -Also, tertiary intention might include closing the wound bed using a skin graft, a skin flap, or a skin substitute. Examples of wounds that would use a tertiary closure could include: Wounds with a superficial portion of soft tissue left open to allow time for either infection or edema to clear.
