Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Healing by primary intention occurs when there is very little loss of tissue. The clean edges of the surgical incision are joined with sutures, and very little granulation tissue forms. Healing by tertiary intention occurs when an infection develops at the site of a surgical incision that is healing by primary intention. Healing by secondary intention may ensue. Keloid formation is excessive scar tissue development that can occur in healing by secondary intention when there is a significant loss of tissue. Healing by secondary intention occurs when the injury involves significant loss of tissue and the edges of the injury cannot be joined during healing. A large clot forms, resulting in an increase in granulation tissue.
