Lower limb amputations inevitably result in debilitating conditions that are associated with expensive treatment and often leads to permanent reduction in quality of life of the affected individual. This study seeks to explore the physical and mental health outcomes including post-operative mortality following lower limb amputations for various vascular indications.
Methods: All the enrolled patients in this study underwent lower extremity amputation for vascular indications in RGGGH, Chennai in the Institute of Vascular Surgery from February 2017 to February 2018.
