Post-amputation pain, including residual limb pain (RLP) and phantom limb pain (PLP), can affect the outcome of surgery and have an impact on quality of life. Effective management of acute post-amputation pain requires a multidisciplinary approach with collaboration among the surgical and anesthesia teams to optimize pain management. A systematic-narrative hybrid review was conducted to assess and report the effectiveness of various interventions in perioperative pain management for amputation surgery.
