Abstract
Regional methods of anesthesia are widely used in surgical interventions on the lower limb, in particular on the foot. But to date, the risks associated with performing distal blocks in patients with diabetes are insufficiently studied. We analyzed the 30-day consequences of tibiocalcaneal nerve block in 88 patients who underwent surgery for diabetic foot syndrome. The obtained results indicate the absence of an increased risk of infectious and trophic complications in the block area in the group of patients who underwent tibiocalcaneal nerve block compared to those with popliteal nerve block and the group of spinal anesthesia. The frequency of repeated operations was not significantly different in all 3 groups.
