Think Skin Think LSLI
Nail surgeries, commonly performed to treat ingrown toenails, infections, or trauma-related damage, involve partial or complete removal of the nail or its surrounding tissue. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia and may include techniques like nail avulsion (removal) or matrixectomy (destroying the nail root to prevent regrowth). After surgery, proper aftercare is essential to promote healing and prevent complications. Patients should keep the area clean and dry. Wearing open-toed or loose-fitting shoes and following up with a healthcare provider ensures a smooth recovery.
At LSLI, Dermatologists are specially trained to perform all kinds of nail surgeries including glomus tumour excision.
About Nail Surgeries
Nail surgery involves procedures to treat conditions like ingrown nails, fungal infections, or trauma-related damage.
It is usually recommended for severe ingrown toenails, chronic infections, or nail deformities that cause pain or discomfort.
Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, so the procedure is painless. Mild discomfort may occur after the anesthesia wears off.
Most nail surgeries are quick, lasting between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the complexity.
It depends on the procedure. If only part of the nail is removed, it may regrow. In permanent removal cases, it won’t grow back.
