AB Wound  healing  is  a  complex  cellular  and  biochemical  cascade  that  leads  to  restitution  of  integrity  and  function.Although  individual  tissues  may  have  unique  healing  characteristics,  all  tissues  heal  by  similar  mechanisms,  and  the  process  undergoes  phases  of  inflammation,  cellular  migration,  proliferation,  matrix  deposition,  and  remodeling.Factors  that  impede  normal  healing  include  local,  systemic,  and  technical  conditions  that  the  surgeon  must  take  into  account.Clinically,  excess  healing  can  be  as  significant  a  problem  as  impaired  healing;  genetic,  technical,  and  local  factors  play  a  major  role.Optimal  outcome  of  acute  wounds  relies  on  complete  evaluation  of  the  patient  and  of  the  wound  and  application  of  best  practices  and  techniques.
