secondary closure
Explanation:
See descriptions of wound closures at: http://woundeducators.com/three-types-of-wound-closure/

**Secondary Closure – Secondary wound closure, also known as healing by secondary intention, describes the healing of a wound in which the wound edges cannot be approximated. Secondary closure requires a granulation tissue matrix to be built to fill the wound defect. This type of closure requires more time and energy than primary wound closure, and creates more scar tissue. The majority of wounds close by secondary wound closure.**

'Delayed closure' is a separate category.

Asker: Thank you Ana! This confirms what I was thinking. I am actually translating the text into Dutch but was hoping to get more (or more accurate) replies in English, to see if my interpretation was correct.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: Both primary and secondary closings can be delayed. Your first link does not refer to secondary closure, only primary.
