	Granulation tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Granulation tissue is the perfused, fibrous connective tissue that replaces a fibrin clot in healing wounds.
		Granulation tissue typically grows from the base of a wound and is able to fill wounds of almost any size.
		Fibroblasts, the main cells that deposit granulation tissue, depend on oxygen to proliferate and lay down the new extracellular matrix.

		Granulation tissue is the pebbly or granular appearing tissue which develops in healing wounds anywhere on the horse's body.
		Granulation tissue forms primarily in wounds left open to heal, rather than those wounds that are primarily closed (sutured).
		Following surgical treatment of moderate to large granulating large wounds, a splint or a cast might be necessary to prevent the granulation tissue from regrowing and to enable the skin edges to advance and cover the wound.

	bronchiolitis obliterans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This granulation tissue polyp is a very non-specific histologic finding as it is seen in most infectious pneumonias, diffuse alveolar damage, aspiration, usual interstitial pneumonia, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, among other conditions.
		Over time this myxoid tissue is re-epithelialized through the growth of the adjacent metaplastic epithelium which incorporates the loose granulation tissue into the wall of the airway.
		It is important to recognize that this granulation tissue reaction is part of the acute lung injury associated with the acute rejection reaction, rather than bronchiolitis obliterans.

		Granulation tissue is a highly vascularized, loosely organized tissue with material properties somewhere between a highly organized blood clot and loose areolar fibrous tissue.
		As this granulation tissue appears within and surrounding the joint, the stiffness previously due to fluid accumulation becomes increasingly due to the deposition of a solid extracellular matrix.
		In this third stage of granulation tissue deposition, extracellular matrix is being deposited in the tissues around the knee joint, causing them to thicken and greatly lose their compliance.

	Granulation tissue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Granulation tissue is the tissue that replaces a fibrin clot in healing tissue.
		This is necessary because not only is this tissue vulnerable due to the healing process, but also because (not being fully repaired) it often does not have an effective, intact barrier of skin to provide a first line of defence from invading pathogens.
		Vascularisation: It is necessary for a network of blood vessels to be established as soon as possible to provide the growing tissue with nutrients, and to take away cellular wastes, as well as transporting new leukocytes to the area.

		Granulation is a predictable method of wound healing if the wound is cared for properly, and granulation is not as dependent on vascular pedicles or vascular ingrowths as flaps and grafts.
		Granulation can be used to heal large wounds as long as wound care is meticulously performed and the patient and physician have patience.
		Two additional techniques, porcine xenograft–assisted granulation and purse-string suture–assisted granulation, may be used in a patient who cannot care for the wound but who is otherwise a good candidate for granulation (eg, an elderly patient who lives alone and a patient who is unable to see or reach his or her scalp).

	Wound healing
		Organisation is when the inflammatory exudate is replaced by granulation tissue and fibrous repair is when the granulation tissue is then replaced by fibrous scar tissue.
		Myofibroblasts contract when the granulation tissue forms and this reduces the surface area of the open wound to 10% of its original size.
		The molecular type of collagen secreted early on in granulation tissue formation is type III, which is later replaced by degradation and secretion of type I collagen.

		When the oral mucosa is injured repeatedly, excessive amounts of granulation tissue may be produced in the lamina propria of the oral mucous membrane.
		While the lesions to be described next probably started out being composed of granulation tissue, their persistence is accompanied with decreased vascularity and cellularity and increased fibroblastic activity and collagen deposition, a change reminiscent of scar formation in wound repair.
		The tissue lining the fissure part of the lesion is generally more vascular (more blood vessels) and, as mentioned, the epithelium lining the fissure bottom is generally ulcerated with inflammation of the connective tissue underlying it.

		In all exits the drainage increased and became purulent, and granulation tissue became soft or fleshy.
		Instead, drainage became purulent, the sinus lining became composed of granulation tissue at week 1 or 2, and the tissue became slightly or frankly exuberant.
		Nonionic surfactant that cleanses the exit and is not harmful to the granulation tissue seems to be preferable to strong disinfectants.

		Fully Granulating: Wound bed filled with granulation tissue to the level of the surrounding skin or new epithelium; no dead space, no avascular tissue; no signs or symptoms of infection; wound edges are open.
		Early/Partial Granulation: > 25% of the wound bed is covered with granulation tissue; there is minimal avascular tissue (i.e., <25% of the wound bed is covered with avascular tissue); may have dead space; no signs or symptoms of infection; wound edges are open.
		Granulation Tissue: The pink/red, moist tissue comprised of new blood vessels, connective tissue, fibroblasts, and inflammatory cells, which fills an open wound when it starts to heal; typically appears deep pink or red with an irregular, "berry-like" surface.

	Infectious Diseases in Children: New Advances in Topical Treatment of the Draining Ear
		The middle ear mucosa may become inflamed with an indwelling tube and granulation tissue grows through the lumen of the tympanostomy tube into the external canal and surrounds the tube.
		The second manner in which granulation forms is from a tube that has extruded and is either sitting on the tympanic membrane or in the ear canal.
		By bathing the granulation tissue in an appropriate topical agent, the infectious and inflammatory response is well managed.

	Exuberant protuberant
		Granulation tissue fills in a large wound so that epithelial cells can grow across the surface of the wound and allow the skin to recover the area.
		Granulation tissue is resistant to infection, so it protects dangerous wounds from bacterial damage.
		Studies have shown that a bandage reduces formation of granulation tissue and increases the amount of carbon dioxide near the wound's surface.

	Granulation tissue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The term granulation tissue is derived from the appearance of small, red, granular foci which bleed easily, commonly seen within freshly healing tissue.
		The granulations consist of clusters of fragile newly-formed capillary blood vessels which proliferate and grow into damaged tissue along with fibroblasts at an early stage of the repair process.
		This area of granulation tissue contains a population of chronic inflammatory cells in addition to the vascular and fibroblastic elements, illustrating that inflammation and healing are very commonly concurrent.

		In 3-day-old unsplinted granulation tissue (Aa) fibroblastic cells exhibit low levels of de novo-appearing F-actin and ED-A FN whereas fibroblasts in 3-day splinted tissue (Ae) already show important expression and co-localization of the two proteins (yellow); co-localization is also seen in vascular smooth muscle cells (Aa, arrowhead).

		The problem with caustic substances is that their purpose is to destroy cells, and in addition to destroying exuberant granulation tissue, they also destroy healthy cells and might cause further damage to the wound.
		The surgical method is generally preferred because it removes much of the unwanted granulated tissue and leaves healthy tissue underneath, whereas the caustic method destroys all cells whether or not they need to be destroyed.
		Once the excess granulation tissue is removed, a steroid cream or ointment is applied to the area.
