Nail surgery is a safe and effective procedure used to treat painful or recurring ingrown toenails, involuted nails, and some nail deformities that do not respond to routine care. The goal is to remove the problematic part of the nail and prevent it from growing back, giving long-term relief from pain and infection.
The procedure is carried out under a local anaesthetic, so the toe is numb and comfortable throughout. Most surgeries involve removing only a small section of the nail, rather than the entire nail. A chemical may then be applied to stop that edge from returning, helping to prevent future problems.
Benefits of nail surgery:
After the procedure, you will receive full dressing and aftercare instructions, and follow-up appointments can be arranged to monitor healing.
