Surgical techniques for preventing neuropathic pain during amputation show promising results in reducing incidence rates of pain. Specifically, prevention techniques for finger amputations can decrease the incidence from 8% to 0-3%, with CCU being the most beneficial; while for major limb amputations, techniques like TMR and RPNI can significantly reduce incidences of RLP.
Summary Background: Pain after amputation can be known as residual limb pain (RLP) or phantom limb pain (PLP); however, both can be disabling in daily life with reported incidences of 8% for finger amputations and up to 85% for major limb amputations. The current treatment is focused on reducing the pain after neuropathic pain occurs. However, surgical techniques to prevent neuropathic pain after amputation are available and effective, but they are underutilized. The purpose of the review is to investigate the effects of techniques during amputation to prevent neuropathic pain. Methods: A systematic review was performed in multiple databases (Embase, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar) and following the PRISMA guidelines. Studies that reported surgical techniques to prevent neuropathic pain during limb amputation were included. Results: Of the 6188 selected studies, 13 eligible articles were selected. Five articles reported techniques for finger amputation: neurovascular island flap, centro-central union (CCU), and epineural ligatures, and flaps. For finger amputations, the use of prevention techniques resulted in a decrease of incidences from 8% to 0-3% with CCU being the most beneficial. For major limb amputations, the incidences for RLP were decreased to 0 to 55% with TMR and RPNI and compared to 64-91% for the control group. Eight articles reported techniques for amputations on major limbs: targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), targeted nerve implantation, concomitant nerve coaptation, and regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI).
