title: [Ways of improvement in surgical treatment of purulent-necrotic complications in the diabetic foot syndrome].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment of 168 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) were analyzed. Expediency of operative intervention was substantiated by pathogenic form of affection, its depth and diffusion, composition of microorganisms in purulent-necrotic focus. Performance of more extensive surgical treatment or distal amputation of foot with consequent closure of vast wound defect using full-layer subcutaneous-cutaneous flap with protracted selective intra-arterial anti-aggregate and antibacterial therapy was indicated in order to preserve the lower extremity supporting function and for prophylaxis of diffusion of purulent-necrotic affection. Application of improved tactics and surgical treatment in patients with DFS have allowed to reduce frequency of the lower extremity high amputation performance from 24 to 8.6%.
