Abstract

Objective: To identify the healing rate complex surgical wound and to characterize these patients. Method: Retrospective, descriptive, exploratory study conducted in the outpatient clinic of a large hospital from 2003 to 2013, with a sample of 138 patients, 18 years or older, with wounds located on the breast and abdomen. Results: The healing rate was 71.74%, with an average of 3 months of treatment. The majority were female, biracial, married, with an average age of 47.4 years old and a low education level. Cancer was the main reason for surgery. Conclusion: The majority of patients were discharged with their wound healed. The knowledge produced in the study can contribute to the strengthening of the nurse’s clinical practices in terms of the importance of evaluating patients with a surgical wound and the expected time it takes for it to heal.
