Amputation Surgery in Lucknow

Dr. Devashish Sharma — General & Laparoscopic Surgeon

What is it?

Amputation may be necessary when severe trauma, infection, ischemia or non-salvageable tissue makes limb preservation unsafe or impossible.

When should you seek surgical consultation?

Surgery is considered after clinical assessment of symptoms, examination findings, imaging, laboratory tests and available alternatives. The decision should be individualized; not every patient with a similar diagnosis requires the same treatment.

What happens during the procedure?

The exact technique, anaesthesia, incision, instruments and recovery plan depend on your diagnosis, anatomy, medical condition and the surgical approach considered appropriate. The procedure, benefits, alternatives and important risks should be discussed individually before surgery.

What if treatment is delayed or skipped?

Delay in treating severe infection or ischemia can threaten life as well as limb.

After surgery or treatment

Recovery varies with the procedure and the individual. You will receive guidance about pain control, wound care, activity, diet, follow-up and warning symptoms. Contact your treating team if you develop concerning symptoms.
