Nail Surgery

Nail surgeries—including partial or total nail avulsion for ingrown nails, nail bed lesion excision, and matrixectomy—alleviate pain, prevent infection and correct deformities. Cutis Hospital’s dermatologic surgeons use precise techniques under local anesthesia to restore nail health with minimal regrowth issues.

Overview

Ingrown Toenail Surgery: Partial avulsion with phenol matrix ablation prevents regrowth of offending nail edge. Nail Bed Lesion Excision: Removal of longitudinal melanonychia or tumors with reconstruction. Total Nail Avulsion: For severe dystrophy, allowing normal regrowth from matrix under guidance.
Nail disorders often cause discomfort and impact mobility. At Cutis Hospital, nail surgeries are performed in-office with minimal downtime. Postoperative care includes dressings, antibiotics and footwear advice to ensure optimal healing.
