Hammer toe surgery

Hammer toe is one of the most common toe deformities, occurring primarily in women. The problem most often affects the second and third toes. The joints of the toe become misaligned: the base of the toe moves upward, while the middle joint bends downward. The condition often occurs in conjunction with deformities of the big toe (such as bunions), as the altered foot structure causes the other toes to shift, become distorted, or overlap. Hammer toe is not only an aesthetic problem, but can also cause pain, difficulty wearing shoes, and walking problems. In some cases, the condition can be treated with conservative methods rather than surgery, but in advanced cases, surgery is often the only permanent solution.

Pilonidal sinus (pilonidal cyst) removal

A pilonidal cyst (also called a pilonidal sinus, or buttock abscess) is a subcutaneous cavity and duct system that usually develops between the buttocks, in the sacrum area (i.e., above the tailbone at the top of the buttocks). Its name derives from the Latin words ‘pilus’ (hair) and ‘nidus’ (nest), because the cyst often contains hair that for some reason becomes embedded under the skin

Ear surgery

When correcting a protruding or disproportionately large ear, not only can the angle of the ears with the skull be reduced or the cochlea arch be refined, but the earlobes can also be made smaller. At the earliest, the procedure can be performed from the age of 5, which has the advantage that the ear can be shaped even more easily due to the flexibility of the cartilage and the cochlea at a young age. There are no visible signs of ear surgery as the scars remain hidden.

Bunion surgery

A bunion (hallux valgus) is one of the most common orthopedic deformities of the forefoot, affecting the big toe and the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint where the toe connects to the foot. With this joint deformity, the first metatarsal bone moves toward the body’s median line, and the big toe moves inwards towards the other toes, which may be accompanied by painful swelling or a bony growth on the inner edge of the foot. Depending on the bunion’s severity, complaints can range from a purely aesthetic problem to serious pain, difficulty wearing shoes, or compression and deformation of the adjacent toes. Statistically, this deformity occurs much more often in women than in men. In some cases, bunions can be treated with non-surgical methods and conservative treatment - e.g., special insoles, physiotherapy or pain relief - but in advanced stages, surgery is often the only permanent solution.

Treatment for under-eye circles

By filling the circles under the eyes with an injectable implant, not only can the circles under the eyes be removed, but the smaller depressions around the eyes and on the face can also be filled out.

Unpleasant symptoms - urinary tract infection

Even if we search the English dictionary for the literal equivalent of the Hungarian word ’felfázás’, we’re unlikely to find it. Instead of the term ’the common cold’ (megfázás in Hungarian) used in everyday vocabulary, cystitis, or lower urinary tract infection, is appropriate here. Dr. József Varga, a urologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, answers questions about the symptoms that affect many women.
