Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wound closed with staples is typically a clean, straight incision that can be closed with precise apposition. This results in minimal tissue damage and a lack of dead space, making it conducive to primary intention healing. Primary intention healing is characterized by the edges of the wound being held closely together with minimal scar formation. On the other hand, secondary intention healing occurs when the edges of the wound cannot be closed and the wound must heal from the bottom up. Third and Tertiary intention healing are less commonly used terms but generally refer to delayed primary closure, where a wound is left open for a few days to allow for infection control before closure.
