The Surgical Procedure

Assessment and Preparation

Before the procedure, a thorough evaluation of the affected toenail will be conducted. This helps determine the extent of the issue and ensures that toenail wedge resection is the appropriate treatment option. Specific instructions on pre-operative care will be provided.

The Surgical Process

During the surgery, a local anesthetic will be administered to numb the area around the toenail. The surgeon will carefully remove a wedge-shaped section of the nail, including a portion of the nail bed if necessary. This technique is designed to prevent future ingrowth and provide lasting relief.
Post-Surgery Recovery
Following the procedure, you’ll receive detailed post-operative care instructions. This may involve keeping the area clean and dressed, as well as advice on pain management. Most individuals can resume regular activities within a few days.
