Kuslick foot resection is a surgical procedure used to treat a variety of foot conditions. It was developed in 1979 by American surgeon John Kuslick and has since been widely used in medical practice.
Kuslik foot resection is a surgical treatment method in which part of the foot is removed in order to improve the functionality of the foot. It is used to treat various foot diseases, such as arthrosis, arthritis, flat feet, foot deformities and others.
The Kuslik foot resection procedure can be performed either with open access or using endoscopic techniques. In the first case, the surgeon makes a small incision in the foot and removes the necessary part of the tissue. In the second case, the surgeon uses an endoscope to visualize the foot and remove the necessary tissue through small incisions.
The advantages of Kuslik foot resection are that it allows you to preserve the maximum possible amount of healthy foot tissue, which contributes to a faster restoration of foot functionality after surgery. In addition, thanks to endoscopic technology, the procedure becomes less invasive, which reduces the risk of complications and reduces recovery time.
However, like any surgical procedure, Kuslik foot resection has its limitations and risks. Patients suffering from serious conditions such as diabetic foot may require more radical treatment. Additionally, as with any surgery, there is a risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, and impaired wound healing.
In general, Kuslik foot resection is an effective treatment for various foot diseases. However, before deciding to have this procedure, you should carefully discuss all the possible risks and benefits with your doctor.
