GlossarySecondary Intention Healing

wound heals naturally from the bottom up without stitches

Secondary Intention Healing refers to the process by which a wound heals naturally without surgical closure. Instead of stitching the wound edges together, the wound is left open and heals from the bottom up, through the formation of granulation tissue, contraction, and epithelialization. This method is often used for large, infected, or non-approximable wounds and typically results in a larger scar compared to primary intention healing.
