Morton's neuroma surgery
Minimally invasive surgery designed to remove the thickening of the plantar nerve and relieve chronic foot pain.
Morton's neuroma is the pathological growth of connective tissue around a plantar nerve in the metatarsal region. It develops due to prolonged pressure and chronic overload of the forefoot and is often associated with transverse flatfoot and valgus deformity.
One characteristic symptom is a burning pain between the third and fourth toes on the front of the foot, which appears after wearing shoes, especially narrow ones, for a short time. The pain can be so severe that a person has to take off their shoes and massage their foot. Additionally, the pain may occur while sitting or walking. In some cases, the lesion affects the space between the second and third toes. Sometimes, several neuromas form on one foot at once. Patients often feel as if there is a foreign object in their shoe and experience numbness, tingling, and decreased sensitivity in their toes.
No special preparation is required, except for standard preoperative examinations to rule out any contraindications. Diagnostics include fluorography, ECG, laboratory tests, and imaging methods (X-ray, MRI, or CT) to determine the exact location of the neuroma.
The procedure is performed under local or short-term general anesthesia and takes 20–30 minutes. The surgeon makes a small, 1–1.5 cm incision, carefully cuts the ligament that is compressing the nerve, isolates the neuroma, and excises it. The wound is usually sutured intradermally, which ensures a good cosmetic result and eliminates the need for suture removal. After the procedure, a sterile bandage is applied, and after a few hours, you can step on the operated leg and move around without significant restrictions.
We use advanced microsurgical instruments to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues.
The rehabilitation period following neuroma removal takes about three weeks. While recovering, avoid putting too much strain on the foot, wear supportive footwear and insoles, and start physical therapy to speed up the healing process. In two weeks, most patients can resume their regular activities, and after one month, they can play sports again. However, regular check-ups with a healthcare professional are essential to prevent a recurrence.

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.
