Amputation of the leg
Today, we will respond to a message received through our website. Our viewer says he has recently seen an amputation of the leg in an old movie and would like to know how this operation is performed today.
It should be noted that the doctor will only make the decision to perform the amputation after rejecting all other solutions, and that the purpose of this surgery is to prevent the spread of the disease from the body. The most common causes of incurable tissue wounds are foot ulcers caused by diabetes, tumors, severe infections, and decreased blood flow due to vascular disease. The surgeon will try to save most of the leg, especially the knee and other joints. First, it will cut the skin and cauterize the arteries and veins to prevent bleeding. He'll cut his muscles with an electric scalpel, and his bones with a swinging saw. He won't close the incision at that time. After a few days, if there is no infection, then you will build the crotch or stump.
That's how far we can tell about leg amputation. If, like this viewer, you are curious about any health related topic, send your questions to the email address teknopolis@elhuyar.com or visit our website: teknopolis.elhuyar.org.
