Minimally Invasive surgery

Dr Slater is a leading exponent of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques, having studied advanced foot and ankle surgery at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery – ranked no. 1 in the US for orthopaedics. MIS is a conservative approach that aims to preserve joints as much as possible. While all types of surgery carry some risks, MIS provides more possibilities in the ongoing management of disease.
