Q

General principles of amputation surgery

A

1) atraumatic tissue handling 2) excise all nonviable/infected tissue 3) tourniquet for blood loss 4) eliminate sharp bone edge/fragments 5) minimize number of cuts 6) sharp transect nerve allow retraction 7) minimize cautery 8) tension free closure 9) myodesis/myoplasty to stabilize antagonistic muscle group 10) drain to reduce dead space
