title: [Economic amputations of the lower limbs due to ischemia. II].
abstract: In this second note, some technical details used during amputation are described, leaving out the systematic description of interventions. The analysis of the postoperative period shows that the more distal the amputation, the higher the incidence of local complication, while about postoperative mortality our data show an opposite trend. The Authors conclude by pointing out that an early indication and an accurate evaluation often allow a more distal amputation, that must be as conservative as possible anyway.
