Dr. Suhas S. Kumar offers expert care for gangrene toes, a severe condition where tissue death occurs due to lack of blood flow or infection. Gangrene can result from complications of diabetes, peripheral artery disease, or severe infections. Prompt and effective treatment is crucial to prevent the spread of gangrene and preserve as much healthy tissue as possible. Dr. Suhas’s extensive experience ensures that patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.
The treatment of gangrene toes begins with a thorough assessment to determine the extent of tissue damage and identify any underlying causes. Dr. Suhas employs advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate blood flow, infection levels, and overall foot health. This detailed evaluation allows for the development of a targeted treatment plan aimed at addressing the root causes and managing the gangrene effectively.
Initial management of gangrene involves controlling infection and promoting healing. Dr. Suhas utilizes advanced wound care techniques, including debridement to remove dead tissue, and appropriate antibiotic therapy to combat infection. In cases where blood flow is significantly compromised, he may employ treatments to improve circulation or consider surgical interventions to restore adequate blood supply to the affected area.
In severe cases, where gangrene has progressed beyond the point of salvage, surgical intervention may be necessary. Dr. Suhas performs procedures to remove necrotic tissue and, if needed, may recommend partial or complete amputation of the affected toes to prevent the spread of gangrene. His goal is to remove infected or dead tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible to ensure optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.
Dr. Suhas emphasizes a comprehensive approach to managing gangrene toes, including post-treatment care and preventive measures. He provides guidance on wound care, infection prevention, and lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of future complications. His patient-centered approach ensures that individuals receive ongoing support and education to promote recovery and improve overall foot health. Through his expertise and compassionate care, Dr. Suhas helps patients achieve the best possible outcomes in managing gangrene toes and maintaining their quality of life.
