Abstract
The various types of wounds and their mechanisms of healing are described and factors affecting the management of wound healing are outlined. For chronic wounds, a number of factors when present in combination lead to the non-healing of wounds. Wound management should therefore be multifactorial and aim at correcting the underlying abnormalities. Options for treatment are described with no single treatment being universally effective owing to the multiple molecular and cellular events involved so that a combination of different therapies is required. Future trends include application of gene therapy and stem cell therapy.
