  2. Adhesion (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion_(medicine)

    Adhesions form as a natural part of the body's healing process after surgery in a similar way that a scar forms. The term "adhesion" is applied when the scar extends from within one tissue across to another, usually across a virtual space such as the peritoneal cavity. Adhesion formation post-surgery typically occurs when two injured surfaces ...

  3. Stab wound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab_wound

    Stab wounds can cause various internal and external injuries. They are generally caused by low-velocity weapons, meaning the injuries inflicted on a person are typically confined to the path it took internally, instead of causing damage to surrounding tissue, which is common of gunshot wounds. [6]

  4. Brain healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_healing

    Brain healing is the process that occurs after the brain has been damaged. If an individual survives brain damage, the brain has a remarkable ability to adapt. When cells in the brain are damaged and die, for instance by stroke, there will be no repair or scar formation for those cells.

  5. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

  6. Deep gluteal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_gluteal_syndrome

    Fibrous tissue, also known as scar tissue, is dense, inelastic tissue that can form after the body heals from an injury. Fibrous bands are fibrous tissue with a long, thin shape like a rope or a band. It's often not clear how internal scarring would materialize.

  7. Pathophysiology of nerve entrapment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathophysiology_of_nerve...

    In advanced cases, scar tissue can be found in all layers of the nerve impairing blood flow and essential functions of various tissue types. [5] This is to say that scar tissue is fairly robust in its capability to injure nerves. It can do so through traction (fibrovascular attachments), compression (osteofibrous tunnels), or can be associated ...

  8. Neurolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurolysis

    Peripheral nerves move (glide) across bones and muscles. A peripheral nerve can be trapped by scarring of surrounding tissue which may lead to potential nerve damage or pain. An external neurolysis is when scar tissue is removed from around the nerve without entering the nerve itself. [2]

  9. Scar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scar

    Scar revision is a process of cutting the scar tissue out. After the excision, the new wound is usually closed up to heal by primary intention, instead of secondary intention. Deeper cuts need a multilayered closure to heal optimally, otherwise depressed or dented scars can result. [57]
