Nail SurgeryNail surgery is a minor surgical procedure which involves removal of whole/part of the nail plate. An ingrown toe nail (Onychocryptosis) is the most common reason for performing this technique. Nail surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic. It is a simple and painless procedure that involves removing the offended nail from the nail bed. The nail bed is destroyed with a chemical known as phenol this aids in preventing further unwanted regrowth of the nail. The procedure takes one hour to complete. You are required to wear open sandals/flip flops following surgery as the dressing is somewhat bulky. At least three subsequent dressings of area are required over a period of 3/4 weeks.
