Dysvascular lower extremity amputations can affect the physical and mental well-being of people who have experienced them.Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are encouraged to individualise care that meets the physical and emotional needs of patients.Sufficient time and information should be provided before the operation for these people to be better prepared for the changes following the amputation.Physical support by HCPs should include physical rehabilitation, checking on the wound healing and managing any existing co-morbidities.Emotional support can be given through additional referral to medical social workers or psychologists and the involvement of support groups.
