Salvage Amputation After Failed Reconstruction: When Preservation Is No Longer Possible
In rare cases, salvage amputation is required after failed reconstruction, infection, or non-healing, prioritising patient safety and function with prosthetics.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 12,000 – 22,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 3,500 – 6,000
Rehabilitation and prosthetics add significant cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary amputation
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
Insurance Tip
Check whether prosthetics and long-term rehab are included or capped.
Conclusion
When preservation fails, compassionate coverage still matters.
