Bilateral partial nail surgery for a painful ingrowing toenail.
Procedure:
- Two local anesthesia injections are used to numb the toe.
- A tourniquet is applied. This is a band put around your toe to stop it from bleeding.
- The appropriate part of the nail is removed from the nail bed.
- Nail matrix is cauterised using a chemical called phenol. This prevents the nail from re-growing.
- No cutting or stitching of skin is involved.
- The healing time for this procedure is 6-8 weeks (average).
