Nail surgery is a specialized dermatological procedure used to treat chronic nail conditions such as ingrown toenails, nail infections (paronychia), nail tumors, cysts, trauma, and abnormal nail growth. It involves partial or complete removal of the nail plate or nail matrix under sterile conditions.
At our dermatology centers in Patna and Chapra, we provide advanced nail surgery services using precise surgical techniques and post-operative care to ensure permanent relief from painful or recurring nail problems.
Nail surgery is a practical and often permanent solution to various nail-related disorders:
Effective Treatment for Ingrown Nails: Removes painful nail edges that pierce the skin, preventing recurrence.
Permanent Cure for Chronic Infections: Helps drain pus, treat abscesses, and remove infected nail parts.
Improves Nail Appearance: Corrects deformities, discoloration, or fungal-infected nails that don’t respond to medications.
Relieves Pain & Discomfort: Offers quick and lasting relief from persistent nail pain.
Biopsy for Nail Growths: Identifies tumors or unusual nail lesions for early diagnosis and treatment.
Here’s how the procedure is carried out at our Patna and Chapra clinics:
Our dermatologist evaluates your nail condition, history of recurrence, and symptoms to determine if surgery is necessary.
The toe or finger is sterilized, and local anesthesia is administered to numb the area for a painless procedure.
Depending on the issue, partial or total nail removal is done. If needed, the nail matrix (root) is treated to prevent regrowth.
A sterile dressing is applied, and patients are advised on wound care, medications, and follow-up appointments.
Post-surgical care is critical to avoid infection and ensure smooth healing:
Keep the dressing clean and dry for the first 24–48 hours.
Soak the area in warm saline water as advised by your doctor after 2–3 days.
Apply antibiotic ointments and change the dressing daily.
Wear open footwear or avoid pressure on the affected nail for a few days.
Return for follow-up to monitor healing and remove any sutures (if used).
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is completely pain-free during surgery. Mild soreness may follow, manageable with painkillers.
Complete healing usually occurs in 7 to 14 days, depending on the extent of nail removal and post-op care.
If the nail matrix is destroyed (e.g., using phenol or electrocautery), the nail will not grow back. If only part of the nail is removed, it may regrow normally.
