WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
All nail surgery procedures are performed under a local anaesthetic, this will make the toe completely numb. This means the procedure can go ahead with feeling no pain for the duration. We will perform one of two possible methods of nail surgery, which are:
​
Partial Nail Avulsion:
This when a small section of nail is removed. Following which a chemical treatment called Phenol is applied to prevent regrowth.
​
Total Nail Avulsion:
The same procedure as above, although the entire nail is removed. This is seen as a more permanent solution and used more in cases where the nail is severly ingrown or thickened.​
​
Written consent is required for this procedure and a pre-surgery assessment carried out.
If, the patient is under 16 then parental/ or guardian consent is required.
