Figure 4. Fibrous connective tissue under reorganization in the sham-operated area with macrophages (m) and some neutrophils at 3 days. At 7 and 14 days, fiber formation (f) was more intense and newly formed connective tissue was randomly organized, similar to the preoperative condition but more mature than at 3 days. The greater thickness at 3 days refers to higher accumulation of cells and edema, which were significantly reduced at 7 and 14 days (HE; 40× magnification).
