A decade of surgical wounds research by Professor Ian Chetter

Date and Time: Thursday 6 June 2024, 5.30 - 6.30pm
Venue: David Shaw Lecture Theatre, Newcastle University Medical School
More than 10 million surgical operations are performed annually in the NHS, with the majority involving a wound created by surgical incision. Most incised surgical wounds heal by primary intention, with the wound edges closely apposed together. Surgical site infection is the most common complication and may lead to wound breakdown or dehiscence, resulting in an open surgical wound. Indeed some wounds are purposely left open to avoid this complication. These open surgical wounds are often left to heal from the bottom up by the formation of granulation tissue, known as healing by secondary intention. This lecture will summarise a decade of surgical wounds research undertaken under Professor Chetter’s supervision.
