Resumen
GARCIA HERRERA, Arístides Lázaro. Surgical procedures of neuropathic diabetic foot. Rev Cubana Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.2 Epub 01-Ago-2020. ISSN 1682-0037.
To consider the diabetic foot as “the infection, ulceration and/or destruction of deep tissues associated with neurological disorders and several degrees of peripheral vascular disorder in lower limbs” is appropriate, since it includes all the aspects that define it: neuropathy, ischemia, and different levels of bacteria-host interaction. The objective of this article was to expose the principles that must be taken into account when planning surgery on the patient with neuropathic diabetic foot, according to the experience of our work group. In this way, 10 basic principles were established that must be observed in the surgical treatment of a patient with a neuropathic diabetic foot and that will allow obtaining more satisfactory outcomes.
