PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The tissues approximated by surgical sutures or tapes with minimal loss of tissue are said to heal by primary union or by first intention. Such wounds heal with a clean, neat and thin scar [17].

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: -rinse the wound under running tap water for 5 to 10 minutes. soak a gauze pad or cloth in saline solution or tap water, or use an alcohol-free wipe, and gently dab or wipe the skin with it – don’t use antiseptic as this may damage the skin.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main types of healing, primary intention and secondary intention. In both types, there are four stages which occur; haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling.
