Explore how evolutionary ideas shape the science of healing wounds, providing practical guidance for safer, faster recovery.
In this edition, the discussion centers on a specific class of wounds and the way tissues respond to the external environment. It frames healing as an orderly, biology-based process, linking ancient adaptations to modern surgical practice.
- Learn how wound repair follows two core processes—disintegration and integration—and how they relate to real-world healing.
- Understand how the surrounding environment, cleanliness, and care influence outcomes in common surgical cases.
- See how timing, dressings, and techniques like dry dressings and coaptation affect tissue health and scar formation.
- Discover how mechanical and chemical factors can hinder or support recovery, and when antiseptic methods are most helpful.
Ideal for readers of medical science who want a grounded, evolution-informed view of wound care and its practical applications.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of surgery's approach to wound treatment. The author argues that the body's natural defenses are better equipped to heal wounds than extraneous substances or chemicals, such as those found in antiseptic dressings. Citing evidence from both medical history and recent scientific research, the author suggests that the field of surgery should shift its focus from preventing infection to fostering the body's natural healing processes. By situating this approach within a broader evolutionary context, the author reveals how our understanding of wound care has been shaped by our understanding of ourselves as biological beings. Ultimately, this book proposes a new approach to wound treatment that is both more effective and more in line with the body's natural healing abilities.
