What Are the Treatment Options for Wound Dehiscence?
Treatment strategies for wound dehiscence depend on the severity and underlying cause. Key interventions include:
- Wound Care: Maintain a clean and moist environment to promote healing. This may involve the use of specialized dressings. - Surgical Intervention: Severe cases may require surgical re-closure of the wound. - Infection Control: Administering antibiotics if an infection is present. - Nutritional Support: Ensuring the patient has adequate nutritional intake to support healing. - Pain Management: Providing analgesics to manage pain and discomfort.
