Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Amputation Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Amputation surgery is the planned surgical removal of part or all of a limb — such as a toe, foot, leg below or above the knee, finger, hand, or arm — when the affected tissue cannot be saved or is threatening the patient's overall health. The most common reasons include advanced diabetes-related foot disease, severe peripheral arterial disease, deep infection unresponsive to antibiotics, major trauma, or bone and soft-tissue cancers where limb-sparing surgery is not feasible. The surgeon removes diseased or damaged tissue, carefully manages nerves and blood vessels, and shapes the remaining tissue into a well-padded residual limb designed to heal comfortably and, in most cases, to support a prosthetic limb. Recovery involves wound healing, residual limb shaping, and a structured rehabilitation programme with physiotherapy and prosthetic fitting, typically beginning within weeks of surgery.
Surgical removal of one or more toes or part of the foot, most commonly performed for diabetes-related infection or localised tissue loss, with a short hospital stay.
Estimated cost: ~$500
Typical tests for this variant: CBC, Blood sugar (fasting) and HbA1c, KFT, Coagulation profile (PT/INR), ECG, X-ray of foot, Vascular Doppler of lower limb. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $5,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
