Complications of wound repair.
In the consideration of wound healing and complications that impede its progress, one should keep in mind that detrimental factors generally affect more than one aspect of the repair process. Wound healing considerations should begin with a thorough history and physical examination upon a patient's first office visit. Factors that affect a patient's ability to heal successfully are listed in Tables 3 and 4.
