Did you know we offer Toenail Surgery at Abbeyfields?
Skip the long waitlists with our in-clinic surgery with Podiatrist, Laura.
Your operation will be carried out under local anaesthetic. Injections are given into the base of your toe to numb the toe and toenail area. You will be awake during the operation but will not feel any pain.
The operation takes about 45 minutes and then you will be able to go home.
During your operation, a tourniquet (tight elastic band) is put onto your toe to stop any bleeding while your toenail is removed. Part or all of your toenail is gently lifted off the nail bed and removed. A chemical called phenol is then applied to all or part of the nail bed to stop your toenail from growing back again.
The tourniquet is then removed and the wound is covered with a dressing.
