In the pathogenesis of III-IV stage diabetic angiopathy, the important place belongs to oxygen deficiency and metabolic acidosis. Introduction into the complex of treatment of the patients of hyperbaric oxygenation and endolymphatic pharmacotherapy contributes to improvement of general state of the patients, alleviation of the course of destructive processes on the extremities, rapid normalization of oxygen exchange in the organism, liquidation of the phenomena of metabolic acidosis. This results in shortening of patients' stay in a hospital and permits to avoid, or postpone performance of amputation of an extremity.
