Leg Amputation

If you have a blockage or contraction of the arteries supplying your legs, blood flow will decrease in your legs. You may feel pain in your feet or wake up at night, ulcers or black spots on your fingers, feet, or legs. If one does not believe that arterial arterial disease is arterial, the disease combines lack of blood circulation. Foot tissues are destroyed by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, causing infections and burns. In some cases, burns can be very dangerous if the infection spreads to the body and can be life threatening.Amputation is always a last resort and is recommended only if your surgeon decides that it is not possible to improve the blood circulation in any other way.

The main areas of amputation are:

By the knee

By the thigh

The amputation site depends on how much blood you have brought to the leg. If possible, amputations are performed below the knee because it is easier to go to the artificial limb after surgery. However, many people are good after cutting the thigh. The following information explains the method of cutting a leg.Before your surgery, you usually receive one to two days before your surgery. You will be taken to bed by one of the nurses. who also reports your personal information in your care records.

Several tests must be done to verify that you are fit for surgery. These included:

X-rays of the arteries (arteriogram) to see where the blockages are

Pulmonary radiography

blood tests

ECG (heart trace)

breath test

Please bring the medicines you are currently taking.

The surgeon will take care of your operation and the doctor who will administer the anesthesia. They decide where the leg is cut. For questions about surgery, please contact the doctors.Operation: In the anesthesia room, you will receive a general anesthesia to sleep. You can also insert a tube in the back that can be used to transmit pain relief to lower the lower body while remaining (spine or epidural). The anesthetist may also use a complete epidural narcotic to treat pain after surgery.While you sleep, the tubes are placed in your bladder to drain your urine and vein from your arm or neck (or both) to measure blood pressure and deliver fluid after surgery. The amputation stump is often closed with undamaged skin that dissolves, and sometimes a slight drainage to drain after the accumulation of fluid. A clear plastic dressing may be used to perform stump inspection, but sometimes a dressing or plaster is used.

After surgery, you will usually return to the service as soon as you receive the anesthetic. Sometimes an anesthesiologist sends you to postoperative surgery (POSU) or dependent surgery (HDU) to monitor your progress more closely. You get a liquid from a drop in one of your veins until you are healthy enough to get up and receive liquid and food through your mouth. Nurses and doctors will try to protect your pain by providing pain medication by injection, a tube in the back, or a machine that you can control yourself at the touch of a button.Pain often occurs when you feel it is a part of the leg that has been removed (a ghost disease). It can be treated with drugs and disappear quickly. You may also need a small blood transfusion. When you return, different tubes are removed and become progressively more mobile until you are fit enough to go home. The physiotherapist will visit you before and after your operation to help you with your breath (to prevent the development of a breast infection) and your mobility. At first you will show the workouts on the bed, then you will be asked to move from your bed to a chair.When your wound is healed, the physiotherapist starts walking with a temporary artificial limb, knowing that you feel safe wearing it. Otherwise, you will learn how to use.

When you return home, you may need to make changes to your home before you can get fired. In some cases, you may need to move to another residence. If you leave the hospital, you should continue to go to the physiotherapy department to work on your own with your artificial foot or wheelchair. If your sutures need to be removed and have not occurred at the hospital, you will visit and the district nurse will examine your wound. Nowadays, artificial limbs work very well and you can walk again, if you have the motivation and kindness to do it. Physiotherapists, nurses and doctors at the Member Control Center help them. Bath: When your wounds are dry, you can take a bath or a shower, but you probably need help first. You may also need hoses or a lift to get in and out of the bathtub safely.

CONCLUSIONS

Complications Because of poor blood circulation, scarring may be slow and sometimes it is necessary to further reduce the leg if the wound does not heal. The wound may be contaminated and must be treated with antibiotics. The lesions of the wound and the lesions are common and can take several months. Breast infections can occur in this type of surgery, especially in smokers, and antibiotic therapy and physiotherapy are needed. Like any operation, the risk of heart attack or stroke or even death from surgery is low. What can I do to help? If you are a smoker, you must make a sincere and determined effort to stop, as this could damage the blood circulation of your other legs. It is also important not to increase mobility in a wheelchair or artificial leg. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Take care of your remaining members. Keep it clean and protected from injury by wearing a shoe. The orthopedist can provide you with special slippers and, if necessary, a chiropodist can cut your nails. If you have diabetes, you need to monitor your blood pressure because it is extremely important for your rehabilitation and your health.
