Rheumatoid arthritis generally does not affect the healing of surgical incisions because rheumatoid arthritis itself is an autoimmune disease and does not have much effect on the healing of surgical incisions. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic disease characterized by inflammatory synovitis, mostly due to problems with the autoimmune system, and generally does not have much of an effect on surgical incisions of any kind. Factors affecting the healing of surgical incisions include poor local circulation, insufficient plasma protein levels, and vitamin deficiencies. Infections, foreign body retention, blood circulation disorders, severe underlying diseases, and older age may also affect the healing of surgical incisions. If the incision is difficult to heal after surgery and rheumatoid arthritis, it is recommended to go to the relevant department of the hospital in a timely manner, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
