Diabetic foot (diabetic foot ulcer) is a complication of diabetes in which an ulcer (sore) forms on the foot and does not heal well. If it is not detected early and treated appropriately, amputation of the foot or leg may become necessary. If you have diabetes, check your feet often, and do not leave even a small wound unattended; please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Microsurgical reconstruction is surgery in which tissue taken from another part of the patient's own body is transplanted to repair a large defect in the skin or tissue caused by conditions such as trauma, cancer, or diabetes. It is a highly complex operation in which blood vessels 1–2 mm in diameter are connected under a microscope, and it is used for legs at risk of amputation and for repairing defects after head and neck cancer surgery.2026-06-26
