Case Description- A seven-year-old male donkey was admitted with a history of left scrotal swelling with ulcerating wound since 2 years.Clinical Findings- The left scrotum was painful. There was ulcerating and hypergranulating wound discharging bloody discharge. The wall of the scrotum was found thick and infiltratedwith soft slimy non capsulated and lobulated fibrous tissue masses. The left te...

Vacuum-assisted wound healing has been proven to be more efficacious than conventional dressings. Vacuum dressing has been frequently modified given the restrictions in resources available. Here we present a modified method of vacuum dressing by using surgical or gynaecological gloves for lower and upper limb wounds. Vacuum dressing was applied with parts of a surgical or gynaecological glove a...

Wound dehiscence is the premature opening of a wound along surgical line. It is a surgical complication that results from poor wound healing that can increase significantly the risk of morbidity and mortality. Risk factors in general are age, diabetes, obesity, cancer, emergency surgery, pulmonary diseases, malnutrition, weight loss, anaemia, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The objective of this...

Acute wound healing failure is an important source of morbidity and mortality for surgical patients. Many incisional hernias, gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks, and vascular pseudoaneurysms occur despite patient optimization and standardized surgical technique. Modern surgical experience suggests that biologic and mechanical pathways overlap during "normal" acute wound healing. The cellular an...

objective: to consider incisional endometrioma (ie) as a differential diagnosis of abdominal disorders and to recommend different treatments as preventive measures. incisional endometrioma (ie), as a rare condition, usually develops in surgical scar of cesarean section or hysterectomy. materials and methods: we performed a retrospective review of 12 cases at department of surgery, shahrekord un...

The endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) usually involves the surgical exposure and catheterization of the femoral arteries. Several inguinal surgical wound-related complications have been reported postoperatively. The aim of this report was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intraoperative application of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the prevention of...

Healing of wounds, whether from accidental injury or surgical intervention, involves the activity of an intricate network of blood cells, tissue types, cytokines, and growth factors. This results in increased cellular activity, which causes an intensified metabolic demand for nutrients. Nutritional deficiencies can impede wound healing, and several nutritional factors required for wound repair ...

I read the article of Wang et al. [1] entitled “Topical negative pressure improves autograft take by altering nutrient diffusion: A hypothesis” with great interest. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is generally used in a two-step surgical procedure to treat surgical site infections. At the time the wound is sterile and wound granulation has been initiated, the wound can be secondary surgi...

Vacuum force (suction) is commonly used in wound management strategies. Topical negative pressure wound therapy and closed surgical wound drainage both use vacuum force but each have different modus operandi.
