Wound excision involves the surgical removal of a portion of tissue, including surrounding skin, to treat infected or necrotic wounds, often aiming to promote healing and restore function. In contrast, wound debridement refers to the process of cleaning a wound by removing dead, damaged, or infected tissue, debris, and foreign materials, which can be done through various methods such as mechanical, enzymatic, or autolytic techniques. While both aim to improve wound healing, excision typically involves the removal of larger areas of tissue.

The depth of the debridement. An selective debridement involves removalof bioburden, slough, crust, and nonviable tissue. An excisional debridement involves utilizing a sharps/surgical instrument in a level of debridement that extends through the subcutaneous tissue. If the depth of the debridement does not extend through the subcutaneous tissue, it is not considered to be an excisional debridement. Typically, an excisional debridement may be supported with wound measurements that are larger post-debridement than pre-debridement.Lisa Bone BSN, CWOCN, CFCN
