Went to see a gynae, got promised to get my results in 2 weeks (which is already long), never got my test results back even after I called because there was always some excuse. Yet they wasted no time

I get that they’re a private business - but you’d think they’d care more about people’s lives because of the type of business they’re in. Be very careful if you decide to take a loved one to

The only reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is due to the parking. Since I've started going there seem to be more doctors and so parking has become an issue especially if you park in the narrow bay

What you need to know about Bunion Surgery in Cape Town

Understanding the details of bunion surgery can help assure prospective patients pursuing this route in Cape Town. Bunion surgery, technically known as a bunionectomy or hallux valgus correction, is primarily done to alleviate pain and restore normal function to your foot. Experienced surgeons in Cape Town typically perform this procedure as an outpatient case under local anaesthesia, ensuring a same-day return to the comfort of your home.

Before you decide on bunion surgery, it is necessary to understand that not all bunions require surgery. Conservative treatment options can be explored first and might include changes in footwear, the use of orthotic devices, and medication to reduce inflammation and pain. Should these methods prove unfruitful, surgical intervention will be considered. Expertise in Cape Town has evolved to a point where patient-specific surgical planning ensures the best possible outcomes for your unique condition.

What's the Recovery Time for Bunion Surgery Procedures in Cape Town?

Recovery from bunion surgery can take anywhere from six weeks to six months, depending on the complexity of the surgery and your body's healing response. In many cases, patients in Cape Town can start to walk with the help of surgical shoes or boots just a few days after surgery.

However, bear in mind that full recovery, allowing for normal footwear and activities, might take longer. This recovery period also involves post-operative care like icing, foot elevation, moderate exercises, and rest, which your surgeon will clearly guide you on. Considering the long-term benefits of bunion surgery, patience during the recovery period becomes critical in enhancing your foot health.

What's the Success Rate of Bunion Surgery Procedures in Cape Town?

The success rate for bunion surgery in Cape Town is generally high. With experienced surgeons and comprehensive healthcare facilities, patients can expect significant improvements in pain and foot function. But like all surgical procedures, bunion surgery has potential risks and complications that must be discussed with your surgeon.

Scientific literature suggests that approximately 85-90% of bunion surgery patients report satisfaction with their results. However, it is crucial to consider that success for a patient means a reduction in pain and improved function, not necessarily achieving a “perfect” foot. Achieving realistic expectations, therefore, is a key constituent of perceived success.
