Minimal Invasive Surgery
Minimal Invasive Surgery involves making small incisions, typically less than one inch, through which specialized instruments and a tiny camera are inserted.
Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS)
What is Minimal Invasive Surgery?
Minimal Invasive Surgery involves making small incisions, typically less than one inch, through which specialized instruments and a tiny camera are inserted. This camera, known as an endoscope, provides the surgeon with a clear view of the surgical area. The surgeon then navigates and performs the procedure with precision, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Advantages of Minimal Invasive Surgery for the Foot and Ankle
- Reduced Scarring: The smaller incisions result in minimal scarring, contributing to better cosmetic outcomes and quicker recovery.
- Faster Recovery: Patients often experience a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgeries, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities.
- Less Pain: Smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma generally lead to less postoperative pain.
- Lower Risk of Complications: Minimal Invasive Surgery is associated with a lower risk of infection and other complications compared to open procedures.
- Preservation of Healthy Tissues: The precision of MIS allows surgeons to target the affected area while preserving healthy tissues and structures.
Common Minimal Invasive Procedures for the Foot and Ankle
-
Ankle Arthroscopy
- Used for diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the ankle joint.
- Involves a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions.
-
Achilles Tendon Repair:
- Surgical procedure to reattach or reconstruct the damaged Achilles tendon.
- Utilizes small incisions to access and repair the tendon.
-
Bunion Surgery
- Corrects the misalignment of the big toe joint and removes the bony protrusion (bunion).
- Minimal invasive techniques can be employed, reducing the impact on surrounding tissues.
-
Flat Foot Surgery
- Corrective procedure addressing structural abnormalities associated with flat feet.
- Involves precise adjustments through small incisions.
