Limb salvage surgery is an advanced orthopaedic oncology procedure designed to remove bone or soft tissue tumours while preserving the affected limb. Instead of amputation, this specialised surgical approach focuses on complete tumour removal followed by reconstruction to restore stability and function. At the practice of Dr. Narendra Singh Butola in Dehradun, limb salvage procedures are carefully planned to prioritise both cancer control and long-term mobility.
In the past, aggressive bone and soft tissue tumours often required amputation. Modern surgical techniques now allow tumour removal while preserving critical nerves, blood vessels, and surrounding structures. Limb salvage surgery offers patients the possibility of maintaining independence and physical function.
Successful cancer surgery requires removal of the tumour along with a margin of healthy tissue to reduce recurrence risk. Limb salvage procedures are meticulously planned using advanced imaging and staging to ensure oncological safety. Precision surgical execution plays a key role in achieving durable outcomes.
After tumour removal, reconstruction may involve specialised implants, bone grafts, or endoprosthetic replacements. These techniques help restore structural stability and support weight-bearing ability. The aim is not only tumour control but also preservation of strength, movement, and quality of life.
Every case is unique and requires individualised evaluation based on tumour location, size, and patient health. Careful preoperative planning combined with structured post-operative rehabilitation improves recovery and functional outcomes. A personalised approach ensures safer surgery and smoother return to daily activities.
