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. |
