Benefits of Professional Ingrown Toenail Surgery


Seeing a specialist for ingrown nail treatment has significant advantages:

 

● It removes the problematic parts of the nail along with adjoining soft tissue

● Prevents the condition from recurring

● Allows swift healing of infection and inflammation

● Restores normal appearance and function

● It gets you back on your feet comfortably

● Surgery is the best way to deal with chronic, serious cases.


Understanding Your Private Surgery Options

There are a few common procedures, either done alone or in combination:


Nail Edge Trimming (Wedge Resection)

Removes sliver of nail plus adjoining tissue pressing into the skin

Performed under local anaesthesia

Low-risk and minimally invasive


Partial Nail Removal (Phenolization)

Takes out the section of nail growing incorrectly

Phenol chemical cauterises nail bed to prevent regrowth

Typically an outpatient procedure with a local anesthetic


Complete Nail Removal (Matrixectomy)

Extracts the entire nail

Phenol or laser destroys nail matrix to stop recurrence

Highest success rate but longer healing time

An experienced podiatrist will recommend the best approach based on your unique situation.
