Amputation Surgery
Amputations may be required as an emergency, to preserve life following a trauma or performed as an planned procedure to treat a limb which poses a risk to an individual, for example due to cancer or infection, or simply to improve function if it is impeding activities.
As with any surgery, an amputation carries a risk of complications. The effects of amputation can be varied, with no two cases of amputation being the same. However, some factors are common in most amputation cases.
Phantom Limb
Pain Management
The feeling that an amputated limb is still present is very common. It is known as a phantom sensation. Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) is characterised as pain that is felt in a part of the body area which has been amputated. According to reports, the occurrence of PLP is as high as in 60–80% of amputees.
Most cases of PLP occur immediately following an amputation procedure. However, some occur a few weeks or even months later.
TMR Surgery
TMR surgery, also known as Targeted Muscle Reinnervation surgery, is a surgical treatment that is gaining acceptance as a nerve pain management associated with amputation.
Post-amputation pain is common among amputees. For example, you might feel sensations in a part of the limb that remains after amputation, or you could experience phantom pain in the area of amputation.
TMR nerve surgery can help reduce post-amputation nerve pain by reconnecting amputated nerves to nearby nerves and muscle targets. If you think about nerves as electrical wiring, TMR surgery helps to complete the “circuit” by reconnecting the “live wires.”
