Nail Surgery

When a painful or ingrowing toenail cannot be resolved conservatively then we may have to undertake a minor procedure referred to as Nail Surgery.

How Does Nail Surgery Help?

Nail Surgery offers a permanent solution by removing the problem portion, or the whole nail if recommended, and preventing it from regrowing.

Podiatrists are uniquely trained to perform this treatment, so you can attend familiar and comfortable surroundings for your care.

It is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself is painless. We use a technique that is minimally invasive, to promote quick healing. It usually takes about an hour to complete, and the numbness will last approximately 1 further hour.

What happens during a Nail Surgery?

There will be an amount of post operative self-care to undertake following the procedure, some of which will take place in our clinic, and some at home. You will be fully instructed and well-stocked in materials.

Our treatment packages mean that we take care of our nail surgery patients from beginning to end. We even audit our results to ensure we maintain the high success rate we are proud of.

The nail surgery process can present a slight upheaval to daily life in the short term, but it is well worth the effort for a long-term pain free outcome!
