TRANSILIAC AMPUTATION

Don King M.D., F.A.C.S.1 and John Steelquist M.D.1

1 Department of Surgery, Bone and Joint Division, Stanford University Medical School, San Francisco

The basic operative technique for transiliac or interinnomino-abdominal amputation has been performed by one of us (D. K.) six times, with one operative death, — a mortality rate of 16.7 per cent. In reviewing this experience two points seem particularly important for any who may be called upon to do this stupendous eradication. First, the surgeon must so fortify his anatomical knowledge that he can perform the operation without hesitancy. Second, he must satisfy himself that the patient is receiving blood as the operation is being carried out.
