Definition
A surgical wound is a cut or incision in the skin that is usually made by
a scalpel during surgery. A surgical wound can also be the result of a
drain placed during surgery.
Surgical wounds vary greatly in size. They are usually closed with
sutures, but are sometimes left open to heal

wounds which are mechanically drained.

the skin has a high risk of infection and is considered a contaminated
wound. For example, a gunshot wound may contaminate the skin around
