Amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as a finger, toe, hand, foot, arm or leg. It can be a life changing experience affecting your ability to move, work, interact with others and maintain your independence. Continuing pain, phantom limb phenomena and emotional trauma can complicate recovery.
Amputation means surgically removing a body part, like a limb. You might need an amputation if your limb has a serious injury or disease that endangers the rest of your body.
Doctors typically divide amputation types first into upper amputations and lower amputations. Upper amputations involve the fingers, wrist, or arm. Lower amputations involve the toes, ankle, or leg.
It can be difficult to predict how long the amputation will take as there are several factors that will affect this type of surgery, but you should expect it to be between one to three hours. Your surgeon will be able to advise you on your specific circumstances.
After the amputation, your wound will be sealed with stitches. It will be covered with a bandage and a tube may be placed under your skin to drain any excess fluid. The bandage will usually need to be kept in place for a few days to reduce the risk of infection.
To amputate something is to remove it by cutting. An operation where a doctor has to cut off a body part because of a severe injury or infection is called an amputation. Some body parts that might get amputated include a finger, foot, or leg.
Amputees may ask, “Does leg amputation qualify for disability?” or “Can I get disability for missing toes or fingers?” Fortunately, the answer is yes to these and similar questions.
Some people still need a cane, walker or crutches to walk with a prosthetic leg, while others can walk freely. If you have a lower limb amputation, or you will soon, a prosthetic leg is probably an option you're thinking about. There are a few considerations you should take into account first.
Losing a limb can deliver a one-two punch. First there's the physical and mental trauma of an amputation. Then, for more than 80 percent of amputees, comes the chronic pain that can be nearly as debilitating as their original injury. For some, the painful feelings radiate from the limb that has been removed.
Above-knee amputations (AKA) and below-knee amputations (BKA) are commonly performed in patients with failed revascularization, comorbidities, extensive tissue loss, or infection [3]. Following amputation, mortality ranges from 13 to 40% in one year, 35 to 65% in three years, and 39 to 80% in five years [13].
