Wound healing of the nasal and paranasal mucosa: a review.

摘要: BACKGROUND Wound healing is a highly coordinated process involving clot formation, inflammatory reaction, immune response, and, finally, tissue remodeling and maturation. Only few data regarding the specific of nasal or sinusal mucosa are available. METHODS After short summary general principles wound healing, most important in vitro vivo models paranasal discussed. Attention paid to clinical application. MAIN FINDINGS First observations regulation epithelial regeneration by growth factors have underlined complex relationship between extracellular matrix epithelium during repair process. However, only poor aspecific correlations can be described endoscopically histomorphologically defined postoperative phases.
