Nail surgery (partial or total nail avulsion) is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia to remove part or all of a toenail. This treatment is commonly used to treat ingrown toenails, fungal infections, and other persistent nail conditions.
During the procedure:
✅ The affected part of the toenail is carefully removed.
✅ A special chemical may be applied to prevent regrowth.
✅ The toe is dressed and bandaged for protection.
When is Nail Surgery Needed?
A chiropodist in Manchester may recommend nail surgery if you experience:
❌ Severe ingrown toenails that keep coming back.
❌ Painful toenails that interfere with walking.
❌ Thickened or deformed nails due to injury or fungal infections.
❌ Recurring infections that don’t respond to other treatments.
If your toenail issue is persistent or worsening, it’s best to consult a chiropodist for a proper assessment.
