Wounds can be open, with broken skin and exposed body tissue, or closed when there is damage to tissue under intact skin. Closed wounds are often caused by blunt trauma, and though the injured tissue is not exposed, there can be bleeding and damage to underlying muscle, internal organs and bones. In this book, we have four chapters to describe comprehensive overview of the diagnosis and treatment of wounds based on the tips of various dressings and surgical methods (including: introduction, General Classification of Dressing Types, Types of Surgical Wounds, The relationship between the probability of infection and the magnitude of surgery). The most common symptoms of wounds are pain, swelling and bleeding. Depending on the location and type of injury, some wounds will hurt, bleed and swell more than others. Minor wounds, like cuts, scrapes, bruises and scratches, are very common and usually don't require medical attention; but some, including infected wounds, require treatment to preserve function and prevent complications. Signs of an infected wound include soreness, redness, oozing and pus in the wound.

Wounds include disturbances in the normal structure and function of the skin and underlying soft tissue caused by trauma or chronic stress. In other words, this complication is a kind of damage on the surface of the skin. A wound is a failure in the protective function of the skin. Loss of epithelial continuity with or without loss of underlying connective tissue (e.g., muscle, bone, nerves) following injury to the skin or underlying tissues and organs caused by surgery, trauma, cuts, chemicals, heat/cold, frictional force/shear, pressure or as a result of disease. The symptoms of the wound depend on the location of the wound, its depth and the cause. In general, ulcers present with pain, redness, swelling, bleeding, and loss or dysfunction of the injured area. Symptoms may include fever, foul-smelling pus discharge, and heat, especially in cases of infection. This book is including 4 chapters (Introduction, Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Ulcers, What is a Cancerous Wound or a Malignant Wound? Causes, Symptoms and Treatment).
