How long has MIS for bunions been practised in Singapore for?

Hi Jasmine Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for mild to moderate cases of bunions. But it will depend on other factors as well. There is a higher recurrence rate for severe bunions if MIS correction is done for them. I would need to examine your feet more thoroughly before I can let you know whether the MIS correction can be done. Looking at the pictures, the left side is more severe than the right side (moderate). So I would say on first glance, MIS can be either right, or be a KIV MIS, or via a mini-open approach.

As mentioned above, I personally would think that keyhole/ MIS surgical correction would be the optimal way of correction. The advantages are plenty, compared to a traditional “open” method. This would include less pain, less risks of infection and bleeding and damage. And it is cosmetically much more acceptable to the patient. Most patients with bunions are females, and who would not want scars that are much smaller and aesthetically pleasing? The only point to note is whether one’s bunion is suitable for keyhole surgery (mild to moderate bunions).
