Wound healing
Definition: **Wound healing** is a physiological reparative process comprising specific dynamic sequences and involving specific cells, mediators and **growth factors**.
Wound healing is the process through which the body repairs and restores damaged tissue after an injury. This physiological process can be divided in time-determined, overlapping phases aimed at restoring the integrity and function of the skin or other affected tissues.
The wound healing process typically occurs in the following main phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling and maturation.
Although there are many different methods and degrees of injury, the basic phases of healing are essentially the same for most wounds.
Effective wound healing depends on various factors, including the type and severity of the wound, the overall health of the individual, the presence of underlying conditions, and proper wound care practices.
