Because Your Health Matters
Bacteria and infection are the main enemies of non-healing wounds. When left untreated, the infection can cause damage to the bones and tissues surrounding the wound. In such a situation, the infection or the ulcer wound has become so severe that it threatens a person’s health and amputation might be considered. Amputation is the surgical removal of a limb which has poor blood circulation or a serious infection that may cause a serious health risk to the patient.
When it comes to wound care, the most common reason for an amputation is poor blood circulation. When blood flow in a particular part of the body is not adequate, that area may not get oxygen rich blood which causes the tissues to die and subsequently infection sets in. Conditions which can be treated with the help of Amputation include:
“I visited Mend Wound Clinic 3 months back with an infection on my shin. The diagnosis and treatment were absolutely on point. The team is very co-operative and friendly. Love your work!”
“The doctors at Mend Wound Clinic are very well-informed and friendly to talk to. They answered all the questions I had about the procedure and made me feel comfortable. They made sure that I was ready.”
“Went to Mend Wound Clinic for my wound dressing. The doctors and the staff are very friendly and well-trained. They know what they are doing.”
“Polite staff. Great doctors. They know their work. The doctor we had took his time to examine the wound and answered all our questions. I’ve never been more satisfied with a healthcare professional.”
“Took my husband to Mend Wound Clinic after he had a fall. The doctors were very polite and professional. They handled the treatment was perfect. He recovered quickly and without any complications.”
After amputation the wound is sealed with stitches and covered with bandages. Bandages are usually needed to be replaced after every few days to avoid the risk of any infection.
Amputation can cause chronic pain which is generally managed with high dose painkillers. Apart from physical pain many amputees also suffer from the mental trauma of amputation.
While amputation is a straight-forward procedure in general surgery. Like any other surgery it can cause complications.
Amputation may be done under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia which just causes the body to go numb from the waist down.
