Abstract

Chronic wounds are wounds that in addition to standard methods of treatment do not heal within 6-8 weeks, depending on their localization and etiology. Wound healing is affected by a number of factors: physical, psychosocial, relationship to the patient’s disease, the condition of the wound itself, as well as the experience and knowledge of medical personnel and financial resources of the institution. Treating chronic wounds begins taking adequate history. Holistic approach is very important in each patient. It should take into account all the situations that can lead to the prolonged healing of wounds. The psychosocial status of the patient plays an important role in the treatment of chronic wounds.
