What is an Intersection?
An incision is a wound to the skin made during surgery. It is also called “surgical wound”.
The size, location and number of incisions depends on the type of surgery.
What is a bandage and how often should it be changed?
The dressing is a sterile bandage that protects the incisions from bacteria and keeps it clean and dry.
The patches should be changed daily or as directed by your doctor.
How do the incisions close?
The incisions are closed using sutures, staples, tissue glue or a special type of adhesive tape called Steri-Strips.
A sterile gauze covers the incision (or incisions).
