Surgery
It is the branch of medicine concerned with diseases and conditions which require or are amenable to operative procedures
It is derived from Greek “cheirourgia”o “cheir” = the hando “ergon” = work
![Page 3: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Surgery
It is often said that it is “controlled trauma”Carried out in a sterile environmentUnder aseptic conditions

Surgery
But wound infections can occur despite these measures causing:
• Death
• Morbidity
• Longer hospital stays
• Cosmetically displeasing wounds

Surgery
Surgical wound infections are common Comprising 12% of nosocomial infections
The rate of infection depends on the type of surgery undertaken
![Page 13: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Operation Types
The risk of a wound infection depends on the operation
For that reason, operations are classified into distinct types
o Cleano Clean-Contaminatedo Contaminatedo Dirty
![Page 14: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Class I :Clean wounds
Elective operations (non emergency)Non traumatic injuryGood surgical techniqueRespiratory, gastrointestinal, biliary and
genitourinary tracts not breachedRisk of infection < 2%Eg: mastectomy, hernia repair
![Page 15: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Class II: Clean - Contaminated
Urgent or emergency case that is otherwise clean
GI, GU or respiratory tracts entered electively, no spillage or unusual contamination
Minor break in sterile technique occurredEndogenous flora involvedRisk of infection: <10 %Eg: appendicectomy, bowel resection
![Page 16: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Class III: Contaminated
Non-purulent inflammationGross spillage from GIT, entry into GU or
biliary tract in the presence of infected bile/urine.
Major break in techniquePenetrating trauma < 4hrs oldChronic open woundsRisk of infection: 20%Eg: GSW, rectal surgery
![Page 17: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Class IV : Dirty
Purulent inflammation (abscess)Pre-operative perforation of GI, GU, biliary
or respiratory tractPenetrating trauma > 4 hrsExisting acute bacterial infection or a
perforated viscera is encountered (clean tissue is transected to gain access to pus).
Risk of infection: 40%

Wound Healing
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process of restoring cellular structures and tissue layers
There are 3 distinct phasesThere are various categories of wound
healingthe ultimate outcome of any healing
process is repair of a tissue defect
![Page 23: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Wound Healing
The types of wound healing:o 1° healingo Delayed 1° healingo 2° healingo (Epithelialisation)Even though different categories exist, the
interactions of cellular and extracellular constituents are similar.
![Page 24: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Primary wound healing
Also known as “healing by primary intention”
Think of a typical surgical wound: the wound eges are approximated
Minimal number of cellular constituents dieResults in a small line of scar tissueMinimizes the need for granulation tissue so
scarring is minimized
![Page 25: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Delayed Primary healing
Occurs if wound egdes are not approximated immediately
May be desired in contaminated woundsBy day 4: phagocytosis of contaminated tissues
has occurred Usually wound is closed surgically at this stage If contamination is present still : chronic
inflammation ensues leading to prominent scar eventually
![Page 29: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Secondary Healing
Also called healing by secondary intentionA full thickness wound is allowed to heal
by itself: there is no approximation of wound edges
Large amounts of granulation tissue formed
Wound eventually very contractedTakes much longer to heal
![Page 32: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Secondary Intention Healing
2 weeks post op – healing by 2° intention
![Page 35: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Epithelialization
Epithelization is the process by which epithelial cells migrate and replicate via mitosis and traverse the wound
Occurs by one of 2 mechanismsCommon in the healing of ulcers and
erosions
![Page 36: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Epithelialization: Mechanisms
Mechanism 1If basement membrane is intact ie some
dermis or dermal appendages remainEpithelialization occurs by epithelial cells
migrating upwards
![Page 37: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Epithelialization: Mechanisms
Mechanism 2Occurs in a deeper woundA single layer of epithelial cells advance
from the wound edges to cover the woundThey then stratify so wound cover is
complete
![Page 38: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Normal Wound Healing
There are 3 phases
I. Inflammatory phase: Days 0-4
II. Proliferative phase : Days 5-21
III. Remodelling phase: Days 22-60
![Page 39: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Wound Healing
It can also be classified in 4 stages:
I. Haemostasis
II. Inflammation
III. Granulation
IV. Remodelling
![Page 40: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Haemostasis
Injury causes local bleedingVasoconstriction is mediated by :
o Adrenaline
o Thrombaxane A2
o Prostaglandin 2α
![Page 41: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Haemostasis
Platelets then adhere to damaged endothelium and discharge ADP
o Which promotes thrombocyte clumping and “dams” the wound
Inflammation is initiated by cytokine release from platelets
![Page 42: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Haemostasis
α-granules from platelets release:Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)Platelet factor IVTransforming Growth Factor βThrombocyte dense bodies release:HistamineSerotonin
![Page 43: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Haemostasis
PDGF attracts fibroblasts chemotacticallyLeading to collagen deposition in later
stages of wound healing
Fibrinogen → FibrinThus providing the structural support for
the cellular components of inflammation
![Page 44: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Inflammatory Phase
Capillary dilatation occurs due to:HistamineBradykininProstaglandinsNOThis dilatation allows inflammatory cells to
reach the wound site
![Page 45: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Inflammatory Phase
These PMNs or leukocytes have several functions:
• Scavenge for debris
• Debride the wound
• Help to kill bacteria by:
-oxidative burst mechanisms
-opsonization
![Page 46: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Inflammatory Phase
Opsonin“factor which enhances the efficiency of
phagocytosis because it is recognized by receptors on leucocytes
2 major opsonins are:Fc fragment of IgGA product of complement, C3b
![Page 47: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Inflammatory Phase
Monocytes now enter the wound and become macrophages
They have numerous functions
![Page 48: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Macrophage functions in healing
Secretion of numerous enzymes and cytokines
Collagenases and elastasesTo break down injured tissuesPDGF, TGFβ, IL, TNFTo stimulate proliferation of fibroblasts,
endothelial and smooth muscle cells
![Page 49: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Proliferative Phase
AngiogenesisThe formation of new blood vesselsFormed by endothelial cells becoming new
capillaries within the wound bedAngiogenesis stimulated by TNFα
![Page 50: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Proliferative Phase
Collagen depositionType III collagen is laid down by
fibroblastsFibroblasts are attracted by TGFβ and
PDGFTotal collagen content increases until day
21
![Page 51: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Proliferative Phase
Granulation TissueIs the combination of collagen deposition
and angiogenesis
![Page 52: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Granulation Tissue
Definition:Newly formed connective tissue, often
found at the edge or base of ulcers and wounds made up of : capillaries, fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and inflammatory cells embedded in a mucin rich ground substance during healing
![Page 53: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

![Page 55: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Granulation Tissue
Occasionally overgranulation can occur (as above following a flexor tendon repair)
Treatment is steroid topical cream (1% hydrocortisone cream)
![Page 56: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Proliferative Phase
Re-epithelialization occurs next:By upward migration of epithelial cells if
BM is intactOr from wound edges
![Page 57: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Remodelling Phase
Fibroblasts become myofibroblastsAnd wound begins to contractCan contract 0.75mm per dayCan over contract howeverContraction allows wound to become
smallerA large wound can contract by up to 40-
80%
![Page 58: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Remodelling Phase
Type III collagen is degraded And replaced with Type IWater is removed from the scar, allowing
collagen to cross-linkWound vascularity decreasesCollagen cross linkage allows: Increased scar strength Scar contracture Decreased scar thickness
![Page 59: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Wound Strength
During phase 1 and 2 (inflammatory and proliferative phases)
Wounds have very little strengthDuring remodelling: Wounds rapidly gain strengtho @ 6 weeks: wound is 50% of final strengtho @12 months: wound is maximal strength: but
this is only 75% of pre-injury tissue strength
![Page 61: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Acute Inflammation
Definition
o The cellular and vascular response to injury
o Short in duration
o Has cellular and chemical components
![Page 83: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Acute Inflammation: Causes
Injury by:o Pathogens Bacteria, viruses, parasiteso Chemical agents Acids, alkaliso Physical agents Heat, trauma (surgery), radiationo Tissue death Infarction
![Page 84: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Stages of Acute Inflammation
Dilatation of local capillaries endothelial permeabilityLeakage of protein-rich fluid into interstitial
space – including fibrinogenFibrinogen → fibrinMargination of leukocytes to peripheries of
capillariesMostly neutrophils
![Page 85: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Stages of Acute Inflammation
Acute Inflammation is mediated by:Chemicals: interleukins and histamineProteins: complement cascade
![Page 86: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Complement Cascade
Component of innate immune system Cascade of proteins Resulting in formation of Membrane-
Attack-Complex (MAC) which can
I. Destroy invading bacteria
II. Recruit other cells ie neutrophils Can also act as opsonins: enhancing
phagocytosis
![Page 87: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Complement Cascade
2 main activating arms of CC:
I. Classic pathway: consists of antigen-antibody complexes
II. Alternative pathway: activated directly by contact with micro-organisms
![Page 88: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Acute Inflammation: Neutrophils
The role of the NeutrophilFirst cellular component to appearAttracted by inflammatory mediators
o By chemotaxisThey can move: margination in blood
vessels – by adhering to vascular endothelium: roll between endothelial cells: emigrate to interstitium
![Page 89: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Acute Inflammation: Neutrophils
Function:Phagocytosis of micro-organisms
• With lysosomal free radical degradation of pathogens

Chemical messengers in AI
These allow cells to communicate with each other and mediate the immune response
![Page 91: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Chemical messengers in AI
ChemokinesCause direct migration of target cells to
site of release
CytokinesSoluble, biologically active molecules
secreted by cells which have a variety of effects on the target cells
![Page 92: Fwd: Wound Healing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052307/557e6c22d8b42a1e178b4f1c/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Cytokines: Examples
IL-1: neutrophil adhesion and vascular adhesion molecules
IL-2: proliferation of B cells and NK cellsTNF: causes fever and promotes
inflammationIFN: activates macrophagesHistamine: vasodilation and permeability

Effects of AI: beneficial
• Drainage to LNs: immune response stimulated
• Fibrin traps the pathogen in place so it can be attacked
