| Popis: | What you need to know After surgery, the wound must try to heal. A dressing may be applied, with the expectation of improved healing, management of exudate, or reduced chance of surgical site infection. Surgical site infection is of particular importance to health services and patient outcomes. However, whether dressings are necessary and influence these issues is uncertain. Here we discuss uncertainty about wound dressings in closed primary surgical wounds. A closed primary surgical wound is formed when the skin edges of the surgical wound are approximated. Wounds may be closed with sutures or clips. Epithelisation and connective tissue deposition seal the join. The wound may then be covered with a dressing. Many different types are available (box 1).1 Tissue adhesive “glue” may also be added as a dressing to a closed wound (fig 1⇓). #### Box 1: Summary of dressings types (from the British National Formulary 1) |
