Advances in post-operative incision care
Presentation

Surgical wound complications such as surgical site infection and surgical wound dehiscence are considerable challenges and are frequently managed in the home care setting. These types of wounds require early intervention, accurate diagnosis and specialist management to halt progression to a chronic wound. Current guidance on management of this type of wound is limited and to address this gap in the clinical armamentarium, ISWCAP has developed a new Postoperative Incision Care Guideline for all HCPs who manage this type of wound. Developed by clinicians for clinicians, learn about the new evidence on early detection and prevention and tips from the expert panel on management.
