Krukenberg amputation

Krukenberg Amputation is a surgical procedure used to treat diseases and injuries of the lower extremities. It was developed by German surgeon Carl Ludwig Kruckenberg in 1886.

Krukenberg amputation involves removing part or all of a limb below the level of the lesion. This avoids further spread of infection and improves blood circulation in the affected area.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and requires a highly qualified surgeon. After the operation, the patient undergoes rehabilitation, which may take several months.

Currently, Krukenberg surgery remains one of the most effective methods for treating severe diseases of the lower extremities, such as gangrene, deep vein thrombosis and others.

A Krukenberg amputation is a surgical procedure to remove part of the testicle in men and the fallopian tube or cervix in women to treat cancer or other diseases of these organs.

A Krukberg amputation, or primary castration, is the removal of both testicles and the adjacent scrotum en bloc. Performed for malignant testicular tumors, cancer of the scrotum and penis, to suppress sexual function and increase the surgical field during thoraco-epigastric lymph node dissection. It can also be performed as a reconstructive surgery for castration postoperative complications -
