SINOPSIS

Stump-wound infections are a common cause of complications after amputation. Wound infections, usually after major lower-limb amputation, vascular disease, or trauma, may lead to fistula formation. The main therapeutic options for these infections include antibiotic administration alone or antibiotic treatment in combination with surgery. Fistula management may require multiple surgical interventions that increase morbidity and cost and require long-term treatment prohibiting early mobilization of patients. We present a novel technique based on diode laser energy to destroy the fistula tract. This method has been applied on two patients with excellent results. It is easy to perform, safe, repetitive, well tolerated, and it can be performed under local anesthesia. This technique seems to offer excellent results.
