What Is Diabetic Foot Surgery?
Diabetic Foot Surgery involves the execution of surgical methods that eradicate infections in the areas of the body, the correction of deformities, the restoration of the blood flow, and the treatment of ulcers that happen to be non-healing through routine care. Most of these cases are referred for a surgical specialist by the local diabetic foot specialists when conservative treatment is said to have failed or they are at the verge of a surgical intervention to stop the progression of infection or at worst the amputation.

Who Needs to Undergo Diabetic Foot Surgery?
It is beneficial for a diabetic patient to have an early evaluation for surgery if such symptoms are present:

  • Deep or non-healing diabetic foot ulcers
  • Severe infection of the soft tissue or bone
  • Gangrene that requires emergency intervention
  • Structural deformities resulting from neuropathy
  • Poor circulation that causes the foot not to heal
  • Recurrent ulcers that limit walking

In Holy Family Hospital, our top diabetic foot surgeons in Mumbai take a thorough look at the patient's condition before making a decision on the surgical method that would be both most effective and safest.
