Limb salvage surgery is a procedure aimed at saving a limb affected by severe vascular disease or injury, such as critical limb ischemia or trauma. The goal is to restore blood flow and function to the limb through procedures like bypass surgery, angioplasty, or stenting, allowing patients to retain the limb and avoid amputation.
Limb salvage surgery is particularly important for patients with peripheral artery disease or traumatic injuries, as it can significantly improve quality of life and prevent the loss of limb function.
