Wound healing may take place by primary intention when tissue loss is minimal,edges are closely approximated,and scarring is minimal;by secondary intention when tissue loss is extensive and edges cannot be approximated,resulting in longer time for repair and possible scarring;and by tertiary intention when primary closure of the wound is unsuitable (e.g. ,when circulation is inadequate or infection is present).
