A)In primary intention wound healing, the edges of the wounds are approximated and held together with sutures, bandages, or tissue adhesive. Scarring is minimal with these wounds. Secondary intention healing involves wounds that cannot be approximated and that must "heal in." These wounds are at higher risk for infection, take longer to heal, and are more prone to scarring. With tertiary intention healing, also called delayed primary intention healing, wounds are left open for 3 to 5 days to allow edema or infection to resolve before being closed by sutures, staples, or adhesive skin closures.
