granulation...what is it?

A little more than a week left to go....busy getting prepared....reading all I can....cleaning, shopping, more cleaning. Cannot wait for the wait to be over and life on the other side!

What is granulation? I've read a few posts that mention it but have no clear idea of what it means. Is it like scar tissue?

Hi. If found a definition on a medical website...


Granulation is wet scar tissue, which may cause bleeding or discharge. The vaginal vault is the top of the vagina following total abdominal hysterectomy. During this operation, the cervix is removed and the top of the vagina is sutured (stitched). The granulation may be cauterised with silver nitrate by your gynaecologist in the clinic at your postoperative visit. This is a painless procedure taking just a few seconds.
