==Complications==
Complications depend on where in the body the gangrene is, how much gangrene there is, the cause of the gangrene, and the person's overall condition. Complications can include:
Disability from [[amputation]] or removal of dead tissue
Prolonged wound healing or the need for reconstructive surgery, such as [[skin grafting]]
==Prognosis==
What to expect depends on where the gangrene is in the body, how much gangrene there is, and the person's overall condition. If treatment is delayed, the gangrene is extensive, or the person has other significant medical problems, they may die.
