Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wounds create an interdisciplinary issue, involving all medical professionals, including surgeons of different specializations, general practitioners, and geriatrists. The topic covers the problem of chronic wounds (diabetic ulcer, pressure ulcer) which affect patients’ life quality and require long-term treatment and care. Additionally, the management of postoperative wounds is an important integral part of the surgical treatment, especially in plastic surgery procedures. There are many topical adjunctive therapies (lasers, mesotherapy, platelet reach plasma, botulin toxin injections) that can be used to enhance wound healing and result in more aesthetically pleasing scars. Similarly, there are many different dressings and methods of wound closures. The efficacy of these techniques is still a subject of ongoing debate and research, while the problem of chronic wounds is of interest for different healthcare providers and public health.
This Special Issue is open to the subject area of different aspects of wound healing and management; prophylaxis, treatment, and consequences of chronic wounds; and all other medical aspects of wounds. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.
Dr. Anna Kasielska-Trojan
