Amputation is categorized on OnlineMedicalTourism.com as within the class of procedures known as Orthopedics. More information about this procedure and other related procedures is available here.
Amputation (click for worldwide facilities list): Amputation is the removal of a body extremity by trauma or surgery. As a surgical measure, it is used to control pain or a disease process in the affected limb, to remove malignant tumors, to remove tissue that no longer has an adequate blood supply, or severe trauma to the body part. In some cases, it is carried out on individuals as a preventative surgery for such problems.
Arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes can be amputated. Most amputations involve small body parts such as a finger, rather than an entire limb.
Amputation may be required when the blood supply to an extremity is cut off because of injury to the blood vessel, hardening of the arteries, arterial embolism, impaired circulation as a complication of diabetes mellitus, repeated severe infection that leads to gangrene, severe frostbite, Raynaud's disease, or Buerger's disease.
More than 90% of amputations performed in the United States are due to circulatory complications of diabetes. Sixty to eighty percent of these operations involve the legs or feet.
Amputations can be either planned or emergency procedures. Injury and arterial embolisms are the main reasons for emergency amputations. The operation is performed under regional or general anesthesia by a general or orthopedic surgeon in a hospital operating room.
Details of the operation vary slightly depending on what part is to be removed. The goal of all amputations is twofold: to remove diseased tissue so that the wound will heal cleanly, and to construct a stump that will allow the attachment of a prosthesis or artificial replacement part.
Amputation is major surgery.
Infection is of special concern to amputees. Failure of the stump to heal is another major complication.
Non- healing is usually due to an inadequate blood supply.
Persistent pain in the stump or pain in the phantom limb is experienced by most amputees to some degree. Treatment of phantom limb pain is difficult.
Centers that specialize in amputation usually have the lowest rates of complication.
