Ingrown toenail surgery | India Fulford Romsey Chiropodist
In this short video India, our resident Romsey Chiropodist takes you through how we conduct Ingrown toenail surgery here at NK Active.
What is ingrown toenail surgery?
It’s a minor procedure we do under a local anaesthetic to offer in 95 percent of the time, a permanent resolution. Who is it for? It’s for those of you with painful or unsightly or ingrowing toenails. How is it done? Firstly we use a local anaesthetic to make sure that the toe is numb. We then remove all or part of the nail. We then remove a section of nail and perform a chemical ablation to the nail bed which in 95 percent of cases means that the nail doesn’t grow back. Then we pop on a large dressing and give you advice to stay at home with your foot up for the rest of the day. We then see you at one week and five weeks to ensure things are healing well and the toe should be healed between six to eight weeks.
Once it’s healed, the surrounding skin should return fully to normal and there’ll be very little evidence that anything’s been done.
