Open Guillotine Amputation of the Lower Leg

Vermont rates for HCPCS 27882

Removes the lower leg through the two shin bones with a straight circular cut, leaving the wound open rather than closing it with skin flaps. It is used when infection or dead tissue makes immediate closure unsafe, so the stump can be cleaned and watched. A further operation is done later to shape and close the stump.
