Understanding Evulsion: A Last Resort Surgical Procedure to Save Lives

Evulsion is a surgical procedure to remove a body part, usually a limb, that has become severely infected or damaged and cannot be saved. The procedure involves cutting the affected limb off from the rest of the body, usually at or below the level of the amputation.

The goal of evulsion is to prevent the spread of infection and save the patient's life. It is typically performed as a last resort when all other treatment options have failed.

Evulsion can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's overall health. After the procedure, the patient will need to undergo rehabilitation to learn how to adapt to living without the affected limb.
