Wound Care in Gynecologic Oncology

Wound care in gynecologic oncology surgeries plays a pivotal role in reducing patient morbidity, optimizing postoperative recovery, and facilitating timely initiation of adjuvant therapies. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the physiology of wound healing, the spectrum of wound complications encountered in gynecologic oncology patients, associated risk factors, preventive strategies, and recently developed advanced wound care protocols. Building upon authoritative surgical texts such as Williams Gynecology and Te Linde's Operative Gynecology, the discussion integrates findings from recent prospective studies and randomized controlled trials to present evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice.
