Abstract
Introduction. Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the late complications of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic neuropathy, affecting the peripheral nervous system, leads to a decrease in sensitivity in the foot area and the development of chronic wounds both during its injury and in the outcome of treatment of purulent lesions. Chronization of the wound process, prolonged healing causes radical operations on the lower extremities in the amount of high amputations, leading to disability of patients, deterioration of their quality of life and fatal outcomes.
Objectives. To study the available literature data of domestic and foreign authors affecting the problem of chronic wounds in the neuropathic form of diabetic foot, and to find ways to resolve them at the present stage.
Materials and methods. Analysis of available literature data, scientific databases PubMed, e-library.
Results. The analysis of the literature data confirms the relevance of the problem of wound treatment in the neuropathic form of diabetic foot and the need for further research on this question.
Conclusion. The neuropathic form of diabetic foot is a problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Future research should focus on developing personalized treatment approaches, preventing this serious complication, and improving the quality of life for patients with diabetic foot.
