Abstract

Wound management forma a key part of the plastic surgeon’s daily practice. In addition to being a financial burden to the patient, it is a major social and emotional problem. The key to management of any wound is proper wound assessment. Wound assessment not only enables the treating physician to know the current status of the wound but enables us to monitor the progress of the wound to intervention. Though many wound assessment tools are available currently, none assess the periwound skin which also forms an integral part of the wound. In this article, the authors have assessed the efficacy of the triangle of wound assessment (TOWA) and its application in the management of postoperative wounds.

Keywords: TOWA, wounds, periwound skin
