Nail surgery
Nail surgery and ingrown toenail treatment
Nail surgery is usually performed to help cure a chronic ingrown toenail. It can also be used to permanently remove thickened or strange growing toenails.
Nail surgery performed by our podiatrists is a simple “walk in walk out” procedure, performed under sterile conditions in our practice. It takes approximately 1-1.5 hrs and is described in simple terms as follows:
- A local anaesthetic is injected into the toe.
- The offending section of nail is cut out at the root.
- The nail bed is sterilised to ensure the offending section of nail does not regrow.
- The toe is appropriately dressed with an antiseptic.
The benefit of nail surgery is that once the toe has fully healed the offending side or curved part of the nail will not regrow. This will usually cure an ingrown toenail for life saving you lots of further medical expenses!
