Diabetic foot surgery is not a single operation but a family of procedures used to treat foot problems that develop when diabetes damages the nerves, blood vessels, skin, and bones of the lower limb. Common reasons for surgery include non-healing foot ulcers, deep soft-tissue or bone infections, poor arterial blood flow, pressure-causing deformities such as Charcot foot, and gangrene. Depending on the problem, the surgeon may perform debridement of dead tissue, drainage of infection, endovascular or open-bypass revascularisation to restore blood flow, tendon or bone correction procedures, Charcot foot reconstruction, or — when tissue cannot be saved — a carefully planned amputation at the lowest viable level. The goal in nearly every case is to preserve as much of the foot as possible, control infection, restore circulation, and allow the patient to heal and, where achievable, walk again. A multidisciplinary team including a vascular surgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, diabetologist, and wound care specialist typically manages the patient's care together.
Removal of dead or infected tissue from the foot, with surgical drainage of any abscess, to bring a diabetic foot infection under control.

Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: ECG, HbA1c and fasting blood glucose, CBC, KFT, LFT, PT/INR, X-ray of affected foot (weight-bearing AP, lateral, oblique), MRI foot and ankle (bone and soft tissue assessment), Bone scan or SPECT-CT (if active Charcot suspected). Done in India before hospital admission.
