What is Ingrown Toenail Surgery?
Ingrown toenail surgery, also known as partial nail avulsion (PNA) or toenail removal surgery, is a minor procedure performed to permanently remove a portion of the toenail that is ingrown.
This surgical intervention is typically recommended for individuals who experience recurrent ingrown toenails or severe cases that do not respond to conservative treatments.
How Does Ingrown Toenail Surgery Work?
During the procedure, your podiatrist will administer local anesthesia to numb the affected toe and minimize discomfort. They will then carefully trim and remove the ingrown portion of the toenail, ensuring that the nail bed is properly cleaned and treated to prevent regrowth.
In some cases, a chemical solution may be applied to the nail matrix to prevent the ingrown toenail from recurring.
