Dry amputation, also known as guillotine amputation, refers to a surgical procedure performed without the use of any fluids or irrigations. Synonyms for this term include "non-irrigated amputation" and "anedemic amputation". In this procedure, the limb is severed cleanly, either due to medical complications or trauma, without the need for additional cleansing or disinfecting agents. It is typically carried out in emergency settings where time and resources are limited. Other related phrases to describe this procedure include "simple amputation" or "uncomplicated limb removal". Although dry amputation may sound harsh, it remains a crucial medical intervention in specific situations to save lives or prevent further complications.
