Too much of a good thing: excessive granulation tissue following a
Pfannenstiel incision.
New Tissue Formation:
Granulation
New highly vascularized tissue has a granular appearance (which may
be why it's called granulated tissue), and is recognizable by
its visible pinhead-size rounded nodules. Nodules that are dark red
in color and appear moist and shiny indicate good healing. Poor
healing is indicated by a bluish color and a smeary fibrin
appearance.
