Cutaneous immune cell levels in patients with hard-to-heal wounds after maggot therapy and surgical debridement therapy
The higher cell numbers detected in the MT group could be associated with an increased healing rate and reduced debridement time in comparison with SDT. MT not only debrided the wound effectively, but also positively influenced wound healing through its effect on the inflammatory process.
