Nail Surgery
Nail surgery refers to procedures performed to treat issues related to the nails, such as ingrown toenails, nail infections, or nail fungal diseases. It often involves removing part or all of a nail or the surrounding tissue to alleviate pain, infection, or to promote healthier nail growth. The surgery is usually done under local anesthesia, meaning you remain awake but won’t feel pain in the area. After the procedure, proper care and hygiene are essential for healing. Most patients experience relief and improved nail health following the surgery, with minimal downtime.
