Minimally Invasive Surgery

Our NYC podiatrist places great importance on the aesthetic result of their surgical procedures, as well as their functional outcome. Recent advances have enabled new “no scar” surgical procedures like minimally invasive bunion surgery and hammertoe surgery which provide comparable and often superior results to traditional surgical methods. Your Manhattan foot doctor offers all the latest techniques and treatments.

Fear of scarring frightens many people away from surgeries that would greatly help them. We are sympathetic to these fears and will clearly explain our minimally invasive options and the cosmetic outcomes you should expect. Traditionally, both bunion and hammertoes surgery would result in a large visible scare. However, with our minimally invasive foot surgery techniques, you can correct your foot deformities with minimal to no visible scarring. All questions about this procedure will be answered during your consultation with a foot doctor.

Expectations
While there are some surgeries where a minimally invasive approach may yield less superior results, Achilles tendon surgery actually has better results when using this method. Your Manhattan foot doctor recommends minimally invasive techniques whenever possible for both aesthetic and medical reasons. In other words, the foot will look better and heal faster. For your NYC podiatrist, these methods are often a superior choice. Ingrown toenails are usually removed without a scar.

Minimally invasive surgery refers to surgical foot procedures that:

• Usually are performed in the office of your podiatrist or at a surgical center 
• Typically are outpatient procedures allowing you to go home the same day 
• Rely on very small incisions which minimize scarring and soft tissue disruption 
• Use scopes with tiny cameras and instruments 
• Leave you with less pain 
• Often let you walk out after the procedure with minimal assistance 
• Have fewer complications 
• Have a quicker recovery period

Minimal Incision Bunion Surgery
Minimally invasive bunion surgery performed in our foot clinic differs from a traditional procedure and offers several advantages. New advances in minimal incision techniques and technology have allowed for a shorter operative time, less postoperative pain, and an easier and faster recovery period. One of the biggest advantages of choosing a minimally invasive procedure is the ability to perform bunion correction with minimal trauma or visible scars to the overlying skin and soft tissue.

With technological advancements, this deformity can be corrected, resulting in beautiful feet with no visible scars. Your podiatric doctor regularly performs this type of small incision bunion surgery and will discuss what you should expect during your visit. Our Podiatrists recommend minimally invasive techniques whenever possible for both aesthetic and medical reasons. In other words, the foot will look better and heal faster.

To the right are before and after pictures from real patients who went through minimally invasive bunion surgery in NYC at our center. The scarring after minimal incision removal is barely visible. Our surgeon is highly trained in innovative, minimal incision surgical techniques and using the most advanced surgical equipment available in the USA.

During traditional surgery, many foot surgeons in New York make large incisions, in some cases over two and a half inches long. Thanks to a new minimally invasive technique, the surgery scar is barely visible in the top picture on the right. Our Podiatrists specialize in performing small incision bunion surgery with minimal or no scars.

According to the study published on PubMed in 2019: This new minimally invasive bunion procedure is a more effective and reliable method of correcting foot deformities (hallux valgus) when compared to traditional procedures. It provides a higher level of satisfaction and excellent outcomes with low complication and recurrence rates. Furthermore, a minimally invasive method improved the cosmetic results by avoiding the formation of a scar.
