Nail Tumor Surgery

Nail tumor surgery is a medical procedure to remove abnormal growths or tumors beneath or around the nails. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). During the surgery, a doctor, often a dermatologist or surgeon, uses local anesthesia to numb the area and carefully excises the tumor, ensuring to minimize damage to surrounding tissues. This procedure helps alleviate pain, prevent infection, and improve nail appearance. Recovery involves keeping the area clean, managing pain, and monitoring for any signs of complications, with follow-up care as needed to ensure proper healing.
