Overview
The goal of surgical treatment in gangrene is to achieve revascularization to alleviate pain and avoid limb loss.
Surgery
- The goal of surgical treatment in gangrene is to achieve revascularization to alleviate pain and avoid limb loss.
- Options to obtain revascularation include intravascular thrombolysis using catheters, and balloon angioplasty with or without the use of stents. [1] [2]
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one method to address oxygen tension.
- Gas gangrene should be surgically explored and debrided as soon as possible because it is very aggressive and life-threatening. If it is done within 24 hours upon admission, chances of survival are high. [3]
