Wound care after office procedures.
A knowledge of wound healing physiology and how it is influenced by wound dressings is valuable information for all dermatologists. Such knowledge enables the dermatologist to give authoritative advice on postoperative wound care and more importantly, to use wound dressings as a complement to good planning and surgical technique in order to optimize the conditions for rapid healing following office surgical procedures.
