Abstract

This scientific article presents an analysis of the clinical experience of the Department of Septic Surgery in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diabetic foot in 450 cured patients with this pathology in the period from 2006 to 2016. Diagnosis, prevention and treatment procedures were carried out in order to provide minimally invasive treatment for diabetic foot pathology. At the same time, the relevance and effectiveness of vascular surgical interventions, both minimally invasive and traditional, in preventing purulent-septic processes in the lower extremities were presented. Of the total number of cured patients, women account for 55%, and men approximately 45%. Concomitant diseases were detected in 72% of cured patients.
