title: [Wound surgery in patients receiving palliative care].
abstract: Surgery, normally considered inappropriate for patients receiving palliative care, can nevertheless be an option in the case of infection. Some procedures are carried out in these situations, such as emergency debridement or the amputation of the foot or lower limb. These techniques also aim to improve the comfort of the patient at the end of life. Discussion between the whole multi-disciplinary team ahead of the treatment is in some cases necessary.
