Bypass Grafting for Diabetic Foot Gangrene
Bypass Grafting for Diabetic Foot Gangrene Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad provides advanced bypass grafting procedures to treat diabetic foot gangrene and restore blood flow to affected limbs. Our skilled vascular surgeons perform these life-saving surgeries to prevent tissue death, promote healing, and reduce the risk of amputation in patients with severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
We use precise imaging and surgical planning to create alternative pathways for blood circulation around blocked arteries. This improves oxygen supply to the foot and supports recovery from gangrene or non-healing ulcers. Post-operative care includes infection control, wound management, and diabetic foot rehabilitation for long-term success.
If you’re seeking diabetic foot bypass surgery in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital offers comprehensive vascular care with advanced techniques and experienced specialists. Our goal is to save limbs, enhance mobility, and improve quality of life for diabetic patients.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Bypass Grafting for Diabetic Foot Gangrene Journey
🩺Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Non-healing foot ulcers or wounds (especially in diabetic patients)
- Blackened or gangrenous toes/foot (signs of tissue death)
- Severe pain in the foot or leg, especially at rest or during the night
- Cold, pale, or bluish skin in the lower limb
- Reduced or absent pulses in the foot
💉Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Vascular Specialist
- Detailed medical history (diabetes, smoking, hypertension)
- Physical examination of foot perfusion and wound severity
- Initial Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow
- Evaluation for limb salvage vs. amputation risk
🧪 Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- Advanced imaging (CT Angiography, MR Angiography, or Digital Subtraction Angiography) to map blockages in leg arteries
- Assess suitable arteries for bypass graft placement
- Comprehensive diabetic foot assessment (infection, neuropathy, bone involvement)
- Surgical planning: Autologous vein graft or synthetic graft selection
🏥Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Bypass Grafting Surgery:A vein or synthetic graft is used to create a new path for blood flow around the blocked artery
- Restores oxygen supply to the foot and promotes wound healing
- May be combined with debridement of infected or necrotic tissue
- Antibiotic therapy started if infection is present
💊 Phase 5: Post-Surgery Care
- Close monitoring of foot perfusion and graft function
- Wound care to encourage ulcer healing
- Intensive glucose control and anticoagulation therapy
- Avoid pressure on the operated limb; gradual mobilization with physiotherapy
- Regular graft surveillance with Doppler ultrasound
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Hospital stay: 5–7 days (longer if extensive gangrene)
- Improved blood flow aids in ulcer healing and limb salvage
- Return to light activity in 4–6 weeks (with diabetic foot care precautions)
- Lifelong follow-up to monitor graft patency and prevent new blockages
- Lifestyle changes: Quit smoking , control diabetes, healthy diet

Helping you understand Our healthcare
Bypass grafting is a surgical procedure where a vein or synthetic graft is used to reroute blood flow around blocked arteries in the leg. This restores circulation to the foot, helps heal ulcers, and prevents amputation.
Diabetes causes narrowing and blockages in the leg arteries (peripheral artery disease – PAD). Reduced blood flow leads to non-healing ulcers, infections, and eventually gangrene (tissue death).
It is recommended when:
- Severe blockages are seen on imaging
- Non-healing ulcers or gangrene are present
- The goal is to save the limb from amputation
A healthy vein (usually from the leg) or synthetic graft is used to create a new path for blood flow around the blocked segment of the artery. This surgery improves blood supply to the foot and promotes healing.
Most patients stay in the hospital for 5–7 days. Light activity can resume in 4–6 weeks, but full recovery depends on ulcer healing and infection control.
