Keyhole Bunion Surgery: Does It Hurt?

Keyhole bunion surgery, also known as minimally invasive bunion surgery, is generally considered less painful than traditional open bunion surgery. However, pain levels can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the bunion. Here's a quick breakdown.

What Is Keyhole Bunion Surgery?
Keyhole bunion surgery involves correcting the bunion through tiny incisions (2-3mm) using specialized instruments and X-ray guidance. This technique avoids large cuts and extensive soft tissue damage.

Does It Hurt?
During Surgery: No, because it's usually done under local anaesthesia or sedation, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure.

Why It’s Less Painful:
- Smaller incisions = less trauma to soft tissues.
- Less disruption of surrounding structures.
- Quicker healing reduces prolonged discomfort.
