Hypergranulation
Hypergranulation (also known as over granulation or proud flesh) is a common non-life threatening phenomena Hypergranulation is characterised by the appearance of light red or dark pink flesh that can be smooth bumpy or granular and forms beyond the surface of the stoma opening 137 It is often moist soft to touch and may bleed easily |
Wound Management
Hypergranulation (Over-Granulation) Tissue An abundance of granulation tissue that becomes proud or protrudes from the wound is commonly known as hyper- or over-granulation tissue (also termed ‘proud flesh’) In many cases the presence of this tissue is not detrimental to wound healing and can be left untreated |
What is hypergranulation?
Hypergranulation can be defined as excess granulation tissue that overfills the wound bed beyond normal surface height, resulting in a raised mass of tissue (Vuolo, 2010) ( Figure 6A).
How does hypergranulation affect wound closure?
This protruding red, friable tissue can be distressing to patients and creates challenges for healthcare professionals. Hypergranulation can inhibit wound closure by creating a barrier to epithelial cells migrating across the wound surface. It forcing wound edges further apart.
What is over granulation tissue?
(Refer to the exudate pathway) An abundance of granulation tissue that becomes proud or protrudes from the wound is commonly known as hyper- or over-granulation tissue (also termed ‘proud flesh’). In many cases the presence of this tissue is not detrimental to wound healing and can be left untreated.
What causes hypergranulation in a perineal wound?
Therefore, in perineal wounds with disrupted healing, hypergranulation can occur due to infection/dehiscence, the high moisture levels of the perineum and potential irritation from maternity pads. ... ...
Abstract
Hypergranulation (or overgranulation) is an excess of granulation tissue beyond the amount required to replace the tissue deficit incurred as a result of skin injury or wounding. An infrequent but not rare consequence of wounding, the dearth of reliable evidence on the subject of hypergranulation has led to widely varying practices over time, inclu

Introduction
Hypergranulation tissue is an excess of granulation tissue beyond the amount required to replace the tissue deficit incurred as a result of skin injury or wounding Most wound care practitioners will see it at some point in their practice, some more frequently than others, however, the absence of published best practice guidance for managing hypergr
Treatment - Type III
Type III hypergranulation, appears to develop as a result of a cellular imbalance of some kind. It may be that the imbalance occurs as a result of an external factor and for this reason inflammation and occlusion should both be excluded as causes; however, if the trigger is internally located there may be little that can be done to reverse the caus
Conclusion
The literature indicates that a variety of factors contribute to the development of hypergranulation and that hypergranulation presents clinically in different ways. The recognition of contributory factors and clinical types facilitates decision making and, although the evidence based for treatment is limited, effective decisions can be made on t

Comment traiter Hypergranulation ?
Le tissu de hypergranulation peut être traité avec une solution de trempage hypertonique d'eau et de sel, une crème à base d'hydrocortisone, un pansement mousse antimicrobien et du nitrate d'argent.Pourquoi une plaie hyper bourgeonne ?
Le bourgeonnement de la plaie est synonyme de cicatrisation et montre par la présence d'un tissu en bonne voie de guérison. En effet, l'aspect de la plaie hyperbourgeonnante est le signe d'une bonne vascularisation, permettant la migration et l'implantation des fibroblastes.C'est quoi le tissu de granulation ?
tissu de granulation l.m.
Système de proliférations conjonctives bourgeonnantes apparaissant au cours de la réparation tissulaire d'une inflammation, et, par extension, tout tissu conjonctif jeune, riche en néocapillaires et en cellules, représentant le début d'une organisation conjonctive.- Trop d'humidité aggrave l'état cutané autour de la plaie. Il faut donc un pansement capable d'absorber tout en maintenant le milieu humide de la plaie et un environnement relativement sec autour de celle-ci pour éviter toute macération qui est source d'aggravation.

How to identify and treat hypergranulation tissue?
- The overgranulation has been present for many months.
- It has a cauliflower appearance or is hard to touch.
- It is growing outward beyond the wound margins.
- It does not respond to any of the treatments below.
- Silver nitrate.
- Vapor permeable dressing.
How do you treat hypergranulation tissue?
- Apply hypertonic salt water soaks up to four times a day.
- Use hydrocortisone cream for a week to help with skin inflammation.
- Use an antimicrobial foam dressing on the stoma.
- Use silver nitrate to burn away the extra tissue and promote healing.
- Silver dressings may also help manage hypergranulation tissue.
What is the difference between granulation tissue and granuloma?
- the main difference between granulation tissue and granuloma is that granulation tissue is an example of fibrovascular proliferation, aiding in the healing process while the main function of the granuloma is to surround and digest foreign substances, granulation tissue refers to the new connective tissue and tiny blood vessels that form on the …
What does fully granulating mean?
- What does fully Epithelialized mean? 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.
