What Is Nail Surgery?

 

Nail surgery involves the partial or complete removal of a toenail under local anesthesia to address conditions like ingrown toenails, fungal infections, nail deformities, or trauma-related damage. If conservative treatments fail, surgical intervention ensures a permanent solution to pain, infection, and discomfort.

When is Nail Surgery Needed?

Surgery is recommended when the nail condition is painful, recurrent, or unresponsive to non-surgical treatments. Common reasons include:
Ingrown Toenails – When nails grow into the skin, causing pain, redness, and infection
Fungal Nail Infections – Thickened, discolored, or brittle nails resistant to medical treatments
Trauma or Nail Deformities – Due to injury, accidents, or chronic conditions like psoriasis
Persistent Pain & Infection – In cases where antibiotics and conservative care do not provide relief

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Nail Surgery

🔹 Redness, swelling, and pain
🔹 Pus-filled infection (yellow/green discharge)
🔹 Thickened, brittle, or split nails
🔹 Nail discoloration due to fungus or psoriasis
🔹 Recurrent ingrown toenails

Types of Nail Surgery Procedures

Wedge Resection – Partial nail removal to prevent further ingrowth
Onychectomy – Complete removal of the affected nail
Nail Bed Treatment – To prevent regrowth of a deformed or infected nail
Incision & Drainage – In cases of severe infection or abscess formation

Post-Surgical Care & Recovery

🔹 Minimal downtime – Most patients can resume normal activities soon after
🔹 Pain & swelling are temporary – Managed with mild pain relievers
🔹 Antibiotics may be prescribed – To prevent infections
🔹 Proper foot hygiene & nail care – To avoid recurrence
