Role of nutrition in wound healing

R L Ruberg. Surg Clin North Am. 1984 Aug.

Abstract

Nutritional cofactors play a major role in the wound-healing process. Deficiencies of specific nutrients, especially proteins, vitamins, and minerals, may significantly impair the healing process. The recognition of deficits and understanding of methods of repletion are a critical part of modern surgical practice.
