Nail Surgery

Nail surgery encompasses a range of procedures—partial and total nail avulsion, nail bed lesion excision, matrixectomy and tumor removal—to treat ingrown nails, nail tumors, infections, and trauma-related deformities. Cutis Hospitalʼs dermatology experts ensure safe, pain-free nail restoration and preservation of function using minimally invasive techniques.

Overview

Performed under local anesthesia, nail surgeries are tailored to condition—ingrown nail avulsion relieves pain; tumor/cyst excision resolves mass effects; matrixectomy prevents regrowth in recurrent cases. Dressings and post-op care promote optimal recovery, with most outpatient procedures completed in under an hour.
Nail problems can cause pain, infection, and cosmetic issues. At Cutis Hospital, our surgeons use specialized nail instruments in a sterile setting to address all nail conditions and restore nail health.

When is nail surgery needed?

Indications include chronic ingrown nails, painful nail deformities, nail tumors, severe infections, trauma producing avulsion or loss.

How is nail surgery performed?

Patients usually return to regular activities within one to two days post-surgery. Dressings must be changed daily to prevent infection and promote healing. If the nail is removed, regrowth can take several weeks.

What are the risks?

Risks include infection, excessive bleeding, pain, and possible nail recurrence. Rarely, nail dystrophy or permanent changes may occur after healing. Proper care and follow-up reduce these complications.

How is nail surgery performed?

Activity is quickly resumed and wound care is kept simple. Recovery is monitored with regular dressing changes until tissue heals. Nail regrowth is gradual and can take weeks for complete restoration.

Are tests needed?

Routine tests are not generally required before nail surgery. Lab cultures or biopsies may be advised in cases of infection or suspected tumor. Diagnosis is mostly clinical for straightforward cases.
