Replantation or reattachment is defined as the surgical reattachment of a body part (such as a finger, hand, or toe) that has been completely cut from the body. [1] Examples include reattachment of a partially or fully amputated finger, or reattachment of a kidney that had had an avulsion-type injury.
Hemicorporectomy is a radical surgery in which the body below the waist is amputated, transecting the lumbar spine.This removes the legs, the genitalia (internal and external), urinary system, pelvic bones, anus, and rectum.
Furthermore, the five-year post-amputation mortality rate among diabetics is estimated at 45% for those with neuropathic DFUs. [1] TCC has been used for off-loading DFUs in the US since the mid-1960s and is regarded by many practitioners as the "reference standard" for off-loading the bottom surface (sole) of the foot. [2]
In the study of 6,007 people carried out popliteal bypass surgery, the overall rate of morbidity and mortality was 36.8% and 2.3% respectively within 30 days post-surgery. [14] However, there are variations in studies of mortality as one particular study did not find any person deaths. [ 14 ]
[5] [6] [7] When done by a person, the person executing the amputation is an amputator. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The oldest evidence of this practice comes from a skeleton found buried in Liang Tebo cave, East Kalimantan , Indonesian Borneo dating back to at least 31,000 years ago, where it was done when the amputee was a young child.
Most current estimates of perioperative mortality range from 1 death in 53 anesthetics to 1 in 5,417 anesthetics. [27] [28] The incidence of perioperative mortality that is directly attributable to anesthesia ranges from 1 in 6,795 to 1 in 200,200 anesthetics. [27] There are some studies however that report a much lower mortality rate.
After amputation, cortical remapping is the process by which areas of the somatosensory and primary motor cortices representing the lost limb are invaded by nearby regions. [21] This leads to areas of the brain formerly receiving input from the lost limb now able to be stimulated from the nearby invading cortical regions.
