Benefits of Surgery

Podiatric Surgery is performed on a day case basis under regional Local Anaesthesia, therefore patients do not experience the side effects of General Anaesthesia e.g. Nausea and vomiting.

Day case surgery allows for early post operative mobilization and being discharged home reduces the potential for hospital acquired infection.

After surgery your foot will be wrapped in a bulky dressing and you will wear a special shoe. It will be necessary to rest and elevate your foot for three days after you operation. Podiatric surgery is performed by surgeons who specialize in foot surgery, therefore the outcomes of surgery are better than those achieved by non foot specialists.
