Does debridement hurt

summary

The main function of debridement is to remove foreign bodies or blood clots in the body, which provides a good condition for later treatment. Let's see if debridement is painful.

Does debridement hurt

First of all: as long as the operation will have a certain discomfort, but due to the implementation of debridement anesthesia surgery, the pain is greatly reduced.

Secondly, remove the foreign body and blood clot in the wound, remove the inactivated tissue (dark purple, no bleeding, no pain) in the wound, repair the edge of the wound, ensure smooth drainage, and strive to change the fresh contaminated wound into a fresh surgical wound for the first healing.

Finally: because of the abundant blood supply and strong regeneration of maxillofacial tissue, the initial suture can be done within 24 hours after injury. Although some clean wounds have been healed for 2-3 days, good healing effect can still be obtained with careful debridement and suture.

matters needing attention

For the wounds with deep wound cavity, curved wound path and poor drainage, an anti hole should be made at the bottom of the wound to make drainage unobstructed and promote wound purification. After debridement, you can eat more food with high protein, which helps to promote wound healing.
