Amputation surgery is a significant medical procedure that requires the expertise of seasoned professionals.

At Medicover Hospitals in Begumpet, we specialise in providing comprehensive care for patients requiring limb removal surgery.

What Is Amputation Surgery?

  • Amputation surgery involves removing a limb or part of a limb, often due to injury, infection, diabetes, vascular disease, or cancer.
  • The primary goal is to remove diseased tissue and create a residual limb suitable for a prosthesis, thereby improving the patient's quality of life.

Conditions We Treat at Medicover Begumpet

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Peripheral artery disease is a common condition that can lead to limb removal surgery. PAD restricts blood flow to the limbs, often resulting in severe pain, ulcers, and gangrene.

Our best amputation surgery specialists in Begumpet are proficient in managing PAD and performing necessary amputations to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.

Diabetes-Related Complications

  • Diabetes can cause severe complications such as neuropathy and poor circulation, leading to non-healing wounds and infections.
  • In such cases, amputation may be required to prevent the spread of disease and ensure the patient's safety.

Traumatic Injuries

  • Severe injuries from accidents or other traumatic events may necessitate limb removal surgery.
  • Our surgical team is adept at handling emergency cases and performing amputations to save lives and improve patient outcomes.

Estimated Recovery Period

The recovery period after amputation surgery varies depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. Generally, patients can expect to spend a few days to a week in the hospital, followed by a period of rehabilitation. Complete recovery and adaptation to a prosthesis can take several months.

Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy

Rehabilitation plays a critical role in the recovery process. Our rehabilitation team works with patients to develop a customized therapy program that improves strength, flexibility, and mobility.

The goal is to help patients regain their independence and return to their daily activities.
