Foot Amputation: Surgery to Improve Mobility and Reduce Pain
The partial removal of foot, also known as a foot amputation, is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the foot. The procedure is typically performed to treat a severe injury or infection that cannot be treated with other methods. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon will make an incision in the foot to remove the affected area. After the surgery, the patient will need to stay in the hospital for several days to recover and receive post-operative care. Physical therapy and rehabilitation may also be required to help the patient adjust to the loss of part of their foot. The goal of the procedure is to improve the patient’s quality of life by reducing pain and improving mobility.
