The Advent of non invasive bunion surgery - Novena

The advent of non-invasive bunion surgery, often referred to as minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIS), represents a significant advancement in podiatric care. Unlike traditional bunion surgery, which requires larger incisions and longer recovery periods, MIS aims to correct the bunion with smaller incisions, less trauma to the surrounding tissues, and a quicker recovery process.
Key Features of Non-Invasive Bunion Surgery:

1. Smaller Incisions: MIS typically involves incisions that are only a few millimeters long, allowing surgeons to access and correct the bone misalignment with precision.
2. Less Soft Tissue Damage: Since the procedure is less invasive, it reduces the disruption to soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, and tendons), minimizing post-surgical pain and swelling.
3. Faster Recovery: Patients often experience quicker recovery times and can bear weight on the foot sooner than with traditional bunion surgery. Full recovery can take several weeks, but the process is generally faster compared to open surgery.
4. Reduced Scarring: Smaller incisions mean smaller scars, leading to better cosmetic outcomes and less risk of post-surgical complications like infection or wound healing issues.
5. Local Anesthesia: The surgery can often be performed under local anesthesia, which reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia.

However, not everyone is a candidate for minimally invasive bunion surgery. The decision depends on the severity of the bunion, the patient's health, and the presence of other foot conditions.
