dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The major complication of diabetes is the foot ulcer with a poor tendency to heal thus leading to complications. The outcome of the complications of a patient with diabetic foot can be favorable if proper and timely surgical intervention is provided by the attending surgeon by means of regular dressing, wound debridement, amputation, and use of proper antibiotics supported by sensitivity report. Aim: The aim of the present study was to undertake different surgical treatments available in management of diabetic foot. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 diagnosed cases of diabetic foot were studied over a period of 3 years in the Department of General Surgery at Katihar Medical College with emphasis on surgical modalities of treatment of diabetic foot and its complications. Results: Males are more prone to surgical complications 3 times than females because of more outdoor activities. It is more prevalent in the age group 51-60 years (36%). In the treatment schedule, 38 patients were managed by daily dressing and wound debridement and slough excision, 20 patients with a split skin graft, 16 patients under went incision and drainage for an abscess. 16 patients with gangrene of toes and phalanges underwent disarticulation. Transmetatarsal amputation was done in 4 cases, below the knee amputation in 4 cases and above knee amputation in 2 cases. In the course of treatment, the minimum stay in hospital was 1 week and maximum 96 days. Conclusion: Diabetic foot has varied presentation as shown by this study.
