“…The result of this study was going in the same line with various studies which study the effect of honey on different types of wounds.The current study was consistent with (Mehmood, 2015)who found that there was a The result of the current study revealed that the honey dressing effect positively on the wound healing and accelerate the healing process, this finding are agreed with the results by (Kurane et al, 2018) who found that honey is very useful for treatment of Fournier's gangrene and reduces days for clearance of slough and hospital stay. Also, this finding is in line (Upadhyay et al, 2016) who indicated that honey is an effective wound treatment agent, but no additional benefit is gained over standard therapy. Also (Anyanechi&Saheeb, 2015) demonstrate that the honey speeds up the healing of dehiscence wounds of resected mandible when used as dressing for the study group rather than control group.…”

“…Furthermore, honey causes significantly greater wound contraction, and it promotes the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization of wounds & ulcers. It stimulates tissue growth, synthesis of collagen, and development of new blood vessels in the bed of the wound (Alam et al,2014).Furthermore, it doesn't create an adherent interface between the wound and the dressing so that dressings can be easily removed without pain or damage to the newly regrown tissue (Upadhyay et al,2016).…”

Background: Wound healing is accelerated and improved by using honey dressing due to its antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties . Purpose: to determine the effect of honey dressing on open wound healing and patient's satisfaction among surgical patients. Research Design: A quasi-experimental designs utilized for this study. Setting: General surgical department of menoufia university hospital. Subjects: A purposive sample of 90 adult patients with open wound, were selected and divided alternatively and randomly into two equal groups (45 study group -45 control group). Instruments: Three instruments were used for data collection: Structural interviewing questionnaire,Bates-Jensen wound assessment Tool, Patient's satisfaction assessment sheet.Results:There was significant improvement in wound healing and patient's satisfaction among study group than control group. Majority of the study group of the current study were satisfied with honey dressing, about 37 (82.2%) patients were satisfied while only 8 (17.8%) patients were partially satisfied. Conclusions: The honey dressing was safe and effective on wound healing and didn't cause any side effects, accelerate wound healing, and increase patient's satisfaction. Recommendations: Honey dressing should be used as an alternative therapy for wound healing as it safe, cost effective, accelerate wound healing, and promote patient comfort.

“…Secondly, there are no reports of infection after using non-irradiated honey [ 5 , 22 ]. Thirdly, several studies demonstrated the efficacy of using honey without irradiation [ 12 , 13 , 15 , 33 – 36 ]. Lastly, the local honey effectiveness was presented in different in vitro [ 32 , 37 ] and clinical studies [ 13 , 33 , 36 ].…”

Purpose Orthopaedic-related wounds are critical situations calling for care to avoid deep infections and its consequences. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of using honey for care of orthopaedic-related wounds with limited resources. Patients and methods This prospective study included 50 cases with an average age of 38.18 (range 17–63) years with 38 males and 12 females. The most frequent wound location was the leg (41 patients; 82%), then the foot (six patients; 12%), and the ankle in three patients (6%). The aetiologies were open fractures (34 cases; 68%), infected tibial non-unions (nine cases; 18%), and post-operative infections (seven cases; 14%). Exposed tendon was present in three cases. Bone exposure was present in two cases. Deep infection was present in 29 cases (58%). Besides treating the primary cause, a ribbon of gauze soaked with honey was applied to the wounds after thorough saline washing. Results Wound sizes were variable. All cases showed improvement in all parameters with complete wound healing and full coverage of bone and tendons. Recurrence of deep infection occurred in three cases and treated by debridement. One case needed sequestrectomy of a small exposed tibial cortical fragment. Exposed tendon cases showed superficial necrosis which was treated by simple debridement. Initial mild itching occurred in five patients with spontaneous resolution. Conclusion With treating the underlying aetiology and optimising the patient’s general condition, honey was an effective, simple, and affordable method of wound care in different orthopaedic conditions even with exposed bone or tendons.
