The wound healing progression of dehisced perineal tears following childbirth

In this presentation, Nicola Okeahialam, will present a prospective observational study on the healing of dehisced perineal tears by secondary intention.

Three-dimensional wound measurements were taken with the Silhouette® camera. Significant bacterial colonisation was diagnosed using the MolecuLight i:X camera.

This is the first study to describe healing outcomes of dehisced perineal wounds and factors associated with delayed healing.
