Wound healing: a multidisciplinary approach for dermatologists.
This article has provided a review of common and some less common approaches to wound healing. Chronic wound healing is one of the more challenging areas of medicine, with a nice balance of the science and art of medicine. An evidence-based, patient-centered approach can be used to effectively improve the care of many difficult to heal ulcers in often frustrated patients. The multidisciplinary wound clinic concept can work to improve the outcomes of patients with leg ulcers.
