2024年3月14日 · Hypergranulation tissue, also known as overgranulation or proud flesh, is an excessive formation of granulation tissue that protrudes above the wound surface. It appears as a raised, beefy red or pinkish tissue with a shiny, moist surface.

2023年5月5日 · Hypergranulation is the excessive growth of granulation tissue, a symptom of a dysfunctional wound environment. Providers can identify hypergranulation by its appearance. As opposed to the bright, bubbly red appearance of healthy granulation tissue, unhealthy granulation, and hypergranulation tissue can present as large lobes of red tissue, and ...

Hypergranulation, also known as overgranulation, is excessive granulation that protrudes above the wound surface, imposing a barrier to the inward-migrating epidermis, slowing epithelialisation, the last stage of wound healing.

Over granulation tissue has been described as a ‘spongy, friable exuberant mass of tissue’ which is proud of the epithelium (Vuolo, 2010). The surface is moist and an ideal medium for bacterial colonization and bio film formation (McGrath, 2011). It may also bleed easily as it is highly vascularised (Best, 2009)

Hypergranulation, also known as overgranulation or proud flesh, is an abnormal tissue response that occurs during the wound healing process. It is characterized by the excessive growth of granulation tissue above the surface level of the wound bed.

2019年1月20日 · What is overgranulation? It is an excess of granulation tissue that rises above the surface in the wound bed and therefore hinders healing. This is an aberrant response with overgrowth of fibroblasts and endothelial cells with a structure similar to normal granulation tissue.

2021年3月11日 · Hypergranulation (also known as overgranulation) during the proliferation phase occurs when granulation tissue over grows beyond the wound surface. Such wounds have a discoloured, raised or swollen appearance and bleed easily. The cause may be infection, the effects of friction on the wound area, nutritional deficit or stress.

Over granulation tissue has been described as a ‘spongy, friable exuberant mass of tissue’ which is proud of the epithelium (Vuolo, 2010). The surface is moist and an ideal medium for bacterial colonization and bio film formation (McGrath, 2011).

Definition: Overgranulation is also known as hypergranulation, exuberant granulation tissue, or proud flesh and usually presents in wounds healing by secondary intention. Unhealthy overgranulation tissue presents as either a dark red or a pale bluish/purple uneven mass rising above the level of the surrounding skin (Harris and Rolstad 1994).

Hypergranulation tissue (or also known as overgranulation) may negatively influence burn wound healing time and contribute to recurrence of contractures in burn wounds and grafts. Subsequently, the treatment of hypergranulation tissue remains controversial and problematic.
