Gangrene Causes, Symptoms and Signs

What are some of the complications? Often, gangrene can result in the scarring. Another complication is the one when a patient has no other choice than getting an immediate surgery. A reconstructive surgery helps to recover the dead tissues and support the existing ones. The severest cases of gangrene may require an amputation of the extremities (e.g., hands, fingers, feet, etc.) Thus, it is better not to postpone the diagnosis and treatment! In rare cases, gangrene is life threatening as the infection is able to spread quickly over the entire organism.
