A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound or sore that develops on the feet of people living with diabetes. It is one of the most common and serious complications of diabetes and can occur due to nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy), poor blood circulation, and prolonged high blood sugar levels. Because many diabetic patients have reduced sensation in their feet, even a small cut, blister, or injury can go unnoticed and gradually develop into a deep ulcer.

If left untreated, diabetic foot ulcers can become infected, spread to deeper tissues, and lead to severe complications such as bone infection (osteomyelitis), gangrene, or even amputation. Early diagnosis and timely treatment by a vascular specialist are essential to improve blood circulation, promote wound healing, control infection, and preserve the affected limb.

At our Vascular Surgery Center, we provide comprehensive diabetic foot care using advanced wound management techniques, vascular assessment, minimally invasive procedures, and limb salvage treatments. Our multidisciplinary approach focuses on healing ulcers, preventing recurrence, and helping patients maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
