What should I expect during Keyhole Bunion Surgery? - Novena

Keyhole bunion surgery, also known as minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIS), is a modern procedure designed to correct bunions with smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Here’s what you can expect:

Before the Surgery
1. Pre-Surgery Consultation – Your surgeon will assess your bunion severity, take X-rays, and discuss the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes.
2. Anesthesia – The surgery is typically done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your condition.

During the Surgery
1. Small Incisions – Tiny cuts (usually 2-3 mm) are made around the bunion instead of a large open incision.
2. Bone Realignment – Special instruments and a burr are used to cut and realign the bone (osteotomy).
3. Internal Fixation – Small screws may be inserted to stabilize the bones, but they usually remain inside and do not need removal.
4. Soft Tissue Adjustment – Ligaments and tendons may be adjusted to ensure proper foot function.
5. Closure & Bandaging – Since the incisions are small, stitches may not be needed; instead, bandages or dressings help support the healing.
