Who is this surgery for?
- Extensive skin ulceration or necrosis that fails to respond to medical therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, immunosuppressants).
- Development of gangrene (tissue death) in the fingers, toes, or limbs.
- Severe, debilitating pain from vasculitic lesions.
- Secondary bacterial infection of skin ulcers posing a risk of sepsis.
- Diagnostic biopsy requiring a larger tissue sample to confirm the type and severity of vasculitis.
- Impending or actual tissue loss threatening limb viability.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive evaluation by a vascular surgeon and often a rheumatologist.
- Blood tests to assess inflammation levels, kidney function, and autoimmune markers.
- Imaging studies like angiography or Doppler ultrasound to map blood vessel damage.
- Optimization of medical therapy for the underlying vasculitis, if possible.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (local, regional, or general).
- Fasting as instructed before the procedure if anesthesia is required.
- Temporary adjustment or cessation of certain medications like blood thinners, as advised.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding or hematoma at the surgical site.
- Surgical wound infection or delayed healing.
- Damage to surrounding nerves, leading to numbness or tingling.
- Recurrence of vasculitis lesions in the same or new areas.
- Poor cosmetic outcome or significant scarring.
- Risks associated with anesthesia (e.g., allergic reaction, respiratory issues).
- Potential need for further or more extensive surgery, including amputation in severe cases.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for wound monitoring, pain management, and IV antibiotics if needed.
- Meticulous wound care with regular dressing changes as per surgeon's instructions.
- Elevation of the affected limb to reduce swelling.
- Continued management of the underlying systemic vasculitis with medications.
- Physical therapy may be recommended to maintain mobility and strength.
- Avoidance of smoking, which severely impairs healing.
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing, assess for recurrence, and remove sutures.
