Age
18 Years to No maximum
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Individuals over 18 years who presented dehiscence of surgical wounds, recruited from outpatient clinics and doctors who perform oncological surgeries at the University Hospital of Santa Maria, will be included.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals who are not able to understand the guidelines regarding the research due to auto or allopsychic factors, pregnant women, smokers, diabetics with uncontrolled glycemia, patients with infection or who present tissue necrosis in the initial evaluation, with skin cancer and who underwent radiotherapy prior to surgery or, still, patient with local recurrence. Deep epidermal wounds that present tunnels, that is, a point of injury that extends perpendicularly from the wound under intact skin will also not be included in the study. In addition, excavation-type injuries, with an area of tissue injury parallel beneath intact skin, or full-thickness wounds that reach muscle or bone will be excluded. Patients who are using any topical or systemic medication to improve wound healing (except oil of vegetable origin, alginate, hydrogel or similar), as well as those using anticoagulants will be excluded, in addition to volunteers who miss two consecutive sessions during the treatment and patients who are undergoing another modality of physiotherapeutic care that may interfere with the dehiscent wound.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that there will be an improvement in the wound healing process through the combined treatment of photobiomodulation with elastic bandage, when compared to the photobiomodulation group. The wound will be evaluated using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool, being considered an improvement in healing when they have more than 40% regeneration in one month. | — |
