What Is
Diabetic Foot Surgery
Diabetes can lead to poor blood circulation, nerve damage, and slow-healing wounds—often resulting in foot ulcers and infections. If not treated promptly, these can progress to tissue damage and even amputation.

It includes ulcer debridement, infection control, skin grafts, flap reconstruction, tendon repair, and limb salvage procedures.

The procedure is done under anesthesia; mild discomfort during recovery is manageable with medication.
How to prevent diabetic foot ulcers in the future?
Wear comfortable shoes, keep sugars under control, check your feet daily, and avoid injuries.
