Özet
Wound healing is a complex cellular and biochemical process and can be affected by several systemic and local factors. In this study, we aimed to discuss the aetiologic factors of non-healing wounds and the management of this complicated process with current information. The medical data of the patients who were admitted to our clinic due to non-healing or chronic wounds were analysed retrospectively. A total of 27 patients were evaluated retrospectively during the 14 months of the study. The data of 6 patients who were followed up for chronic wound that developed after abdominal incisional hernia repair and pilonidal sinus surgery were not included in the study as their data could not be reached. A total of 21 patients were included in the study. Malignancy was diagnosed in two patients and granulomatous disease was found in four patients. The aetiology of the other cases included foreign body reaction, infection, and mechanical causes. Non-healing wounds are a serious social and economic problem for patients. Further studies on the pathophysiology of various aetiologies in non-healing wounds in both clinical settings and experimental animal models would be a useful step in treatment.
