Keyhole bunion surgery, also known as minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIS), is designed to reduce pain and speed up recovery compared to traditional open surgery. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery itself. However, discomfort and mild pain can be expected during the recovery period. Here’s what you should know about pain management after keyhole bunion surgery.
1. During the Procedure - No pain due to anesthesia (local, regional, or general anesthesia). Minimally invasive techniques reduce tissue damage, lowering post-surgery discomfort.
2. Post-Surgery Pain - Mild to moderate pain in the first few days, manageable with prescribed painkillers. Less swelling and pain compared to traditional bunion surgery due to smaller incisions. Walking is possible with a special surgical shoe, reducing discomfort.
3. Pain Management & Recovery - Pain relief medications like anti-inflammatories and mild painkillers. Ice therapy to reduce swelling and discomfort. Elevating the foot helps minimize pain and swelling.
While some discomfort is expected, keyhole bunion surgery is designed to minimize pain and recovery time. If you’re concerned about pain, your surgeon can discuss personalized pain management options.
