Ingrown Toenail Removal Surgery
While this condition can often be prevented by wearing shoes that are properly fitted or treated at home by soaking the foot in Epsom salts and trimming the nail back, in some cases, surgery will be the best option.
Ingrown toenails occur for several reasons, including improper nail trimming, wearing shoes that are too tight, or even as a result of an injury. They can become very painful and may develop an infection. However, this can usually be easily addressed by a qualified general surgeon under local anaesthetic or with day-stay surgery.
If you think you may need this general surgical procedure, you can see Associate Professor (Hon.) Richard Martin at his rooms in Takapuna or one of his clinics at medical centres and hospitals across the Auckland region for an expert assessment and diagnosis and to book in for this general surgery procedure.
