title: Healing in other tissues.
abstract: Wound healing in many tissue types is essentially the same as that which occurs in skin. The repair processes that occur in bone, tendon, the alimentary tract, skin grafts, and bone grafts are substantially different from cutaneous wound repair. Because surgeons frequently encounter these tissues, it is essential to understand how they heal.
