Comparison of Wound Healing for Diabetic Carbuncle Treated With Incision and Drainage Technique Using Cruciate Incision vs Saucerization Technique Both Followed by Vacuum Assisted Closure.

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of two surgical techniques for wound healing in diabetic patients aged 25-70 years with a carbuncle requiring surgical drainage. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in blood loss during surgery between the two techniques? Is there a difference in the duration required for wound healing between the two techniques? Researchers will compare the Incision \& Drainage group to the Saucerization group (both followed by Vacuum Assisted Closure) to see which technique results in better outcomes. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical groups. Receive their assigned surgical procedure (either cruciate incision \& drainage or saucerization). Receive post-operative Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) therapy. Have their wounds assessed during follow-up visits every 14 days until healed.
