✦ Synopsis

The primary goals of the practitioner managing a simple wound are to encourage primary healing and avoid infection. We conclude from this analysis that the four basic aspects of wound management we have reviewed, the timing of wound repair, the preparation of the wound, local anesthetic management, and antimicrobial therapy, will continue to be fertile topics for investigation and debate.
