What Are the Advantages of Toenail Surgery?
Following the surgery, patients experience the following types of relief:
● Your issue can be permanently resolved with nail surgery in London.
● The source of the infection is eliminated, and the pain is reduced.
● A painless process with little discomfort following
● Activities can return to normal.
● No need to miss work or school.
● Regaining the ability to wear normal shoes
● Local anaesthetic, no fasting required
In terms of appearance, partial nail removal is okay.
What Steps Are Included in the Process?
● To reduce the risk of infection, an antiseptic solution will be administered to your toe once it is fully numb (which we always verify!).
● After that, the offending nail or a portion of it will be cut off.
● To prevent the nail from growing back, phenol, a chemical solution, is administered.
● The procedure will be finished with the application of a protective dressing. Within an hour, the entire process is finished (for one toe).
● The podiatrist will schedule a follow-up visit with you to examine and treat the toe.
● After that, you can go home and spend the remainder of the day lounging!
Our preference is always to avoid doing a full nail extraction whenever possible. Nevertheless, depending on your condition, we might suggest this as the best course of action in some circumstances. The majority of the time, partial removal is carried out.
Gryphosis, Or Thickened Or Deformed Toenails
Trauma and injury, playing sports that require a lot of impact (such as football, running, or rambling), and wearing shoes that don't fit properly can all lead to deformed and thickened toenails. The nail may also thicken as a result of a fungal infection.
When nails are thickened, even a small millimetre increase in thickness might place too much strain on the nail bed. This results in discomfort, ulcers, and occasionally a collapse of the tissue beneath the nail. Damaged or malformed nails increase the risk of infection because they can sever the skin or leave the nail bed exposed and painful.
Depending on how much the nail is broken, different podiatrists will treat this kind of nail issue. If alternative treatments don't work, nail surgery might be a suitable option.
We will recommend the best course of action to reduce pain and encourage recovery. The best treatment for recurring ingrowing toenails is frequent nail surgery in London.
