Introduction
Amputation is a critical procedure used as a last resort to prevent the spread of severe infections in diabetic foot conditions. While the decision to amputate is never taken lightly, it can be lifesaving in situations where other treatments have failed. We prioritize patient safety and use advanced techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Treatment Offered
Amputation involves surgically removing the affected part of the foot to prevent the spread of infection. This procedure is performed under anesthesia, and the extent of amputation depends on the severity of the infection and tissue damage. Our approach ensures that the patient receives comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative care, including rehabilitation and the fitting of prosthetics.
