Obiettivi

Fare una corretta valutazione della ferita chirurgica, sapendo distinguere la ferita non complicata e le principali complicanze, in particolare le infezioni del sito chirurgico.

Definire il corretto percorso di trattamento della persona portatrice di ferita chirurgica

Contenuti sintetici

Le ferite chirurgiche rappresentano un evento frequente nella pratica clinica e la maggior parte di queste guarisce senza andare incontro a complicanze.

Tuttavia, la procedura stessa dell’incisione chirurgica è spesso associata a complicazioni che possono presentarsi presso il sito chirurgico durante il decorso post – operatorio, ritardando la guarigione e provocando un’ elevata morbilità, mortalità e ingenti spese economiche correlate.

L’identificazione dei pazienti a rischio e il monitoraggio delle ferite chirurgiche sono essenziali per la prevenzione delle complicanze.

Aims

Make a proper evaluation of the surgical wound, knowing how to identify the uncomplicated wound and the main complications, in particular the surgical site infections.

Define the correct treatment pathway for the person with a surgical wound.

Contents

Surgical wounds are commonly seen in clinical practice and most of them recover without complications.

However, the procedure itself of surgical incision is often associated with complications that can occur at the surgical site during the post-operative course, delaying healing and causing a high morbidity, mortality and huge financial costs.

The identification of patients at risk and the monitoring of surgical wounds are essential for the prevention of complications.
