Diabetic foot surgeon

Diabetic foot surgery refers to surgical procedures performed to treat severe diabetic foot complications, such as infections, ulcers, gangrene, and deformities, to prevent further damage and improve mobility.
 When is diabetic foot surgery necessary?
Surgery is recommended when conservative treatments, such as wound care, antibiotics, and lifestyle changes, fail to heal ulcers, infections spread to deeper tissues, or there is a risk of limb loss due to poor circulation.

What are the risks associated with diabetic foot surgery?
Like any surgery, there are risks such as infection, slow wound healing, blood clots, and recurrence of ulcers. However, with expert care and advanced medical technology, complications are minimized.
 How can I prevent diabetic foot complications after surgery?
Following post-surgery guidelines, including proper foot hygiene, wearing protective footwear, controlling blood sugar levels, and attending regular follow-ups, helps prevent complications and promotes healing.
