so you did a lumpectomy on a 37 y/o female 2 weeks ago
she's back today for sentinel node dissection and reevaluation of the primary margins.
you make an incision directly over the old incision site 2 weeks prior, remove the tissue and closer her up.
will wound healing begin anew or continue from the initial incision 2 weeks prior?
i was thinking that since the fibroblasts are already at the incision site (from the previous surgery), they'll continue laying collagen. or maybe they trauma sustained from the 2nd incision restarts the healing process?
anyone know for sure?
