Abstract

Debilitating pain following amputation surgery affects the long-term success of the surgery and the patient quality of life. Such patients are grouped in the chronic pain category and are treated with high doses of narcotic pain medications and anti-depressants. Other treatments result in limited or temporary pain relief. Little attention has been given to the role of peripheral nerve surgery as an early treatment option for this group of patients.
