Heel spur removal surgery
Minimally invasive surgery to remove pathological bone growth and inflammation of the plantar fascia to relieve chronic pain.
Heel spurs, also known as plantar fasciitis, are bony growths that develop in the heel area due to chronic inflammation of the plantar fascia. The primary cause of heel spurs is walking on hard surfaces, particularly with high heels.
In the early stages, the disease can be managed noninvasively with physical therapy and medication. However, if the pain becomes severe and does not respond to treatment, surgical removal of the spur is an effective solution.
Before surgery, diagnostic tests are performed to evaluate the condition of the foot and the patient's overall health. This includes X-rays and imaging scans, such as MRIs or CTs, to visualize the heel spur. Laboratory blood tests and an ECG are also performed to rule out contraindications to surgery.
The procedure takes 30–40 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon selects the treatment method based on the patient's condition. During fasciotomy, an endoscope and microinstruments are inserted through small incisions to partially cut the tightened fascia and remove the bone growth.
We use advanced endoscopic and microsurgical equipment for high precision intervention.
The patient will remain in the hospital for 1–2 days after the procedure. For the first few weeks, it is necessary to limit weight bearing on the foot and wear orthopedic insoles or shoes. Full recovery takes up to two months. During this time, gradually increasing activity is recommended, while jumping, running, and carrying heavy loads should be avoided.

SIBO breath test
The hydrogen-methane breath test is a noninvasive method of diagnosing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). This test measures the concentration of hydrogen and methane in exhaled air after the patient ingests lactulose. This helps identify an imbalance in intestinal bacterial flora.
13C-urea breath test
13C-urea breath test is a painless, non-invasive method used to detect Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach. It is based on the ability of H. pylori to break down urea using the enzyme urease.
Endoscopic removal of epithelial formations of the gastrointestinal tract (removal of polyps)
Most gastrointestinal polyps belong to precancerous conditions, and colon polyps are essentially the only way to develop cancer, therefore they require mandatory removal.
