[AMPUTATION OR EXARTICULATION OF TOES IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC FOOT SYNDROME]
Abstract:
The results of surgical treatment of 127 patients, suffering diabetic foot syndrome, were analyzed. In 82 patients (1st group) a radical toe extirpation was accomplished; in 45 (2nd group)--a phalangopreserving operations (amputaion of toe, necrectomy, sequestrectomy, the abscess opening) were done. The reoperation rate in patients of the 1st group have constituted 6.1%, the wound suppuration -3.6%, in a 2nd group satisfactory results were achieved in 26.7% of patients, and in the rest of them--reoperations were done for the pathological process progression.
