Summary

Wound healing after surgery is a complex procedure. Liquefaction of the fat and necrosis of inactivated tissue, as well as blood clots are always accumulated mostly within 24 hours after surgery. As such, early debridement within 24 hours after surgery might improve the healing of the wounds. This study is designed to compare the impact of early debridement of the wound versus regular dressing (24 hours later) on the wound healing. 100 patients will be included in this study, and divided into 2 groups randomly. Then, the healing of the wound, stitch removal time, incidence of incision complications will be compared between the two groups.
