Daytime and scheduled surgery for major dysvascular lower extremity amputation.

Introduction: Patients undergoing a major dysvascular lower extremity amputation (LEA) often have a poor outcome with a high risk of complications and mortality despite improvements in care and perioperative programmes. We evaluated whether scheduled surgery would reduce the failure rate in patients with a major LEA.

Methods: A total of 328 consecutive patients undergoing a major LEA from 2016 to 2019 were enrolled at a single centre.
