Patient Satisfaction Improves With Delayed Primary Closure of Dehiscence

Abstract

In 2014, nearly 15.1 million people chose to undergo elective cosmetic procedures. Cosmetic surgical procedures all involve risks, compromises, and complications. Regardless of a physician's efforts to limit complications, spontaneous wound opening or wound dehiscence remains one of the most common to occur. Cosmetic surgery, perhaps more than any other subspecialty of medicine, walks a precarious balance of tension in effort to reduce laxity and elevate ptotic tissues. Historically, dehiscence with wound exposure more than 6.0 hours after spontaneous wound opening is managed conservatively with proper cleansing and dressing changes, with or without empiric antibiotics. Our research sought to determine whether delayed primary closure of a cosmetic wound dehiscence is a safe and viable option to improve patient care and satisfaction. A retrospective case evaluation, patients survey, and statistical evaluation revealed improved satisfaction with delayed primary closure of dehiscent wounds.

The performance of renewable energy infrastructure

“…This is strongly supported by recent institutional investor intention surveys (e.g. : IP&E Real Assets, 2022c; Hodes Weill, 2023;Nuveen, 2023b), where strong support was shown for investing in all of the renewable energy infrastructure subsectors, including solar, wind, hydro, battery and hydrogen. In highlighting the importance of renewable energy infrastructure in their portfolios, the real challenge for institutional investors is to determine the most effective manner to deliver this critical agenda.…”

“…This academic research has also been strongly supported by a number of the high-quality real asset industry, professional association and government reports on infrastructure, being specifically focused on the renewable energy infrastructure demand and investment context going forward (Al-Attiyah Foundation, 2021; American Clean Power Association, 2022; BP, 2023; Deloitte, 2022; Global Infrastructure Hub, 2022; International Energy Agency, 2023; JLL, 2022; LTIIA, 2023; Nuveen, 2023a; Pexapark, 2023; Preqin, 2023; PwC, 2021; World Bank, 2021). These reports have articulated the current industry directions, industry-level information and up-to-date/future statistics, providing a strong industry context to the importance and environment for the future demand for renewable energy infrastructure.…”

“…This increased importance of renewable energy infrastructure has been reinforced by several recent institutional investor sentiment surveys (e.g. : Hodes Weill, 2023; IP&E Real Assets, 2022c; Nuveen, 2023a, b). For example, the IP&E Real Assets 2022 investor survey found strong support for new investment in renewable energy infrastructure; being the main infrastructure sector supported.…”
