Podiatric Minimally Invasive Surgery: Faster Recovery. Smaller Scars. Less Meds.

Foot and ankle surgery has changed over time. With advancements in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), a podiatric surgery recovery time that used to take months can now be shortened to weeks. MIS also offers smaller incisions (about 75% smaller than regular open incisions) and a reduced need for postoperative opioids.

WNH’s new procedure room is dedicated to these types of procedures. This means patients can bypass the pre/post-op area, and most patients experience reduced wait times and fewer delays for elective procedures. MIS procedures can be done with only local anesthesia (a.k.a., you're not being 'put to sleep'), which minimizes risks for the patient, and patients are able to recover from the surgery with only a small incision(s) and few stitches.

Among the many procedures that may qualify for MIS are bunion surgery, hammertoe repair, big toe arthritis, and metatarsalgia. Utilizing a MIS option for procedures like these can shorten recovery time, reduce post-operative pain, and reduce long-term scarring and stiffness. While MIS is a great option for most patients, not all patients are good candidates. It is important to consult with a podiatrist to determine the best treatment option for your specific case.
