Foot Gangrene: The Treatment Options


Gangrene occurswhen body tissues diedue to loss of blood supply because of an underlying disease, injury orinfection. The lower extremities arecommonly affected. As gangrene may lead to amputation, it needs an immediate medical attention. The sooner a patient receives treatment, the better arechances of his recovery. The treatment options dependon the type of gangrene and its severity:

Surgery:
Also known as the debridement: dead tissue is surgically removed from the affected foot. In many cases, unfortunately, an amputation of a limb may be required

Maggot Therapy:
This is a non-surgical way ofremoving dead, necrotic and gangrenoustissues. Maggots from sterile fly larvae (specially developed an alaboratory) are placed around the wound. Then, theinfected dead tissue is being “removed” by the maggotsleavinghealthy tissues intact. 



Antibiotics:
Many types of antibiotics are administered to prevent and treat foot infection. They are usually givenintravenously. 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:
Patients areput in a specially designed chamber filled with oxygen at a higher pressure. This method helps to saturate blood withoxygen encouragingthe self-healing processesof affected tissues. Oxygen therapy also reduces the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
