Surgical debridement of ischemic tissue is a procedure used to remove dead or necrotic tissue caused by ischemia (lack of blood flow) to promote healing and prevent infection. The procedure may involve the surgical removal of tissue from areas like the limbs, where poor circulation has led to tissue death. Debridement is essential for preventing complications such as gangrene and for preparing the wound bed for further treatments like skin grafting or wound healing.

This procedure helps to restore circulation and improve the likelihood of healing for patients with ischemic conditions.
