伤口是独一无二的，因为从人类诞生之日起，除了伤口之外，没有其他疾病过程存在。多年来，伤口处理，尤其是慢性伤口的处理，在全世界范围内产生了巨大的社会和经济影响。随着人口老龄化，这种影响可能会增加。近年来，“伤口愈合”这一新专业的诞生和快速发展就体现了这一点。伤口微环境研究的不断进步、对伤口病理生理学的不断加深的理解以及监测愈合反应的技术的改进导致了慢性伤口治疗的持续发展。目前的研究重点是生长因子和人类皮肤替代品，它们提供了有希望的结果。本文回顾了多年来伤口护理管理方面取得的进展。尽管取得了所有这些进步，但必须记住，多学科团队环境中伤口护理的基本原则仍然是伤口管理的支柱。
Wounds are unique in so far as no disease process other than wounds would have existed from the beginning of mankind. Over the years, the management of wounds, especially that of chronic wounds, has had enormous social and economic implications worldwide. With an aging population, this impact is likely to increase. In recent years, this has been reflected by the birth and rapid growth of the new speciality of 'wound healing'. Continuous advances made in the study of the wound microenvironment, an ever-broadening understanding of the pathophysiology of wounds, and improved techniques in monitoring the response of healing have led to continuing developments in the treatment of chronic wounds. Current research focuses on growth factors and human skin substitutes that provide promising results. This article reviews advances made in wound care management over the years. Despite all these advances, it must be borne in mind that basic principles of wound care in a multidisciplinary team setting still remain the backbone of wound management.
