Nail Surgery
Nail surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at addressing nail disorders, deformities, injuries, and conditions affecting the nails and surrounding tissues. These surgical interventions may be necessary to treat conditions such as ingrown nails, nail fungus (onychomycosis), nail trauma, nail tumors, and chronic nail disorders that do not respond to conservative treatments.
At Ayla Skin and Hair Clinic, our specialized dermatologists and podiatrists offer a range of surgical options for nail conditions, tailored to each patient’s specific needs, severity of the condition, and treatment goals.
Here’s how Ayla Skin and Hair Clinic can help with nail surgery:
Comprehensive Evaluation: Our dermatologists conduct a thorough evaluation of your nail condition, assessing factors such as the type of nail disorder, severity, symptoms, medical history, and previous treatments. This evaluation helps determine the most appropriate surgical approach and treatment plan for your individual case.
Surgical Procedures: We offer various surgical procedures for nail disorders, including:
- Ingrown Toenail Surgery: Surgical removal of the ingrown portion of the nail and, in some cases, part of the nail matrix to prevent recurrence.
- Nail Avulsion: Partial or complete removal of the nail plate to treat chronic nail conditions, severe fungal infections, or traumatic injuries.
- Nail Biopsy: Surgical removal of a small sample of nail tissue for microscopic examination to diagnose nail diseases or tumors.
- Matrixectomy: Surgical removal or destruction of the nail matrix to treat recurrent ingrown nails or chronic nail deformities.
- Nail Reconstruction: Surgical repair or reconstruction of damaged or deformed nails using techniques such as nail grafting, nail prosthetics, or tissue augmentation.
Patient Education: Our dermatologists provide comprehensive education to patients about the surgical procedure, expected outcomes, risks, benefits, and post-operative care instructions. We take the time to address any concerns or questions you may have and ensure that you are well-informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
Preparation and Aftercare: Prior to nail surgery, our dermatologists provide detailed instructions on pre-operative preparation, including any necessary medication adjustments, fasting guidelines, and hygiene practices. After surgery, we offer guidance on wound care, dressing changes, pain management, and activity restrictions to promote optimal healing and minimize complications.
Follow-up and Monitoring: Our clinic emphasizes the importance of follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process, assess treatment outcomes, and address any concerns or complications that may arise. We provide ongoing support and guidance throughout the recovery period to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients.
