Wound management following surgery is challenging because of high rates of wound infections due to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and increased risk of allergic reactions. On the other hand, several factors play significant roles in wound healing such as surgical techniques used, aging, oxygenation and pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes. The application of wound dressings plays critical roles in wound healing and infectious prevention. The choice of proper wound dressing depends on the type of a wound. This chapter will comprehensively discuss advances in surgical wound dressings for soft and hard tissues with a focus on proper preparations techniques and characterizations. Different post-operative wound healing monitoring procedures will also be covered.
