520			_aThe second edition of the Innovations and Advances in Wound Healing presents state-of-the-art knowledge on new techniques and materials that can improve functional and aesthetic results in wound healing while reducing invasiveness, based on my extensive personal experience. The aim is to equip the practitioner with all the information required in order to select a strategy that will accelerate wound healing and minimize both the risk of complications and scar formation after the wound has fully healed. The opening chapters (Chaps. 1 and 2) set the stage by providing an overview of wound healing, including brief descriptions of the anatomy of the skin, the wound healing process, and advanced wound dressings. A full description follows of the various novel methodologies employed in repairing acute wounds with the goal of achieving optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes while utilizing the safest and least invasive method (Chaps. 3, 4, and 5). Treatment protocols that have proven successful in closing nonhealing and/or delayed healing chronic wounds are then presented (Chaps. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11). The closing chapter (Chap. 12) addresses aesthetic procedures using advanced technology in wound healing. I would like to emphasize that the common subjects which have already been well dealt with elsewhere are only briefly described in this book. Only those subjects regarding the novel technology for wound healing have been highlighted. Thus, it may be necessary for trainees in the fields of wound healing to discuss these neglected subjects more fully and to collect together those subjects which are of interest. I would also like to point out that the text is supported by 1170 full color photos to assist in a better understanding of the written words. The contributors to this book are all affiliated with Korea University Medical Center. I am grateful to my patients and colleagues in the Department of Plastic Surgery for their direct and indirect contributions. I would like to particularly express my gratitude toward Professors Woo-Kyung Kim, Eun- Sang Dhong, and Seong-Ho Jeong, Research Scientist Hyup-Woo Lee, Certified Wound Care Nurse Ye-Na Lee, and all Plastic Surgery Fellows and Residents. I wish to extend my appreciation to my wife, Hee-Yeon, and my parents. Without their support and encouragement, I could not have completed this book. It is my hope that this book will provide information on better treatment options in wound healing.
