How does wound heal if there is an excessive tissue loss?
Healing by first intention occurs in a clean wound with minimal difference between the edges. Healing by second intention occurs when there is a large defect between edges of the wound and when there is excessive tissue loss. Healing takes much longer. Scarring is expected in this case because of extensive loss of parenchyma.
