["Preliminary" amputation for the irreversible ischemia of the lower extremities].
The author has summarized experiences of amputations of the shin and femur in 301 patients for 10 years of work, has developed a surgical strategy for certain kinds of high amputations that allowed improving the results of amputations of lower extremities in 178 patients in the following three years. One of important factors in decreasing the number of purulent postoperative complications and lethality was using the method of "preliminary" amputation and reamputation.
