Ingrowing toenails can be an extremely painful condition. In some cases they will continually become infected and compromise the person’s ability to perform everyday activities. A wedge resection is a surgical procedure that can be performed here in our clinic to treat this condition. A local anaesthetic is required and the surgery itself does not require stitches as a chemical is used to prevent the unwanted portion of nail from growing back. Patients can walk out of the clinic following the surgery with instructions on dressing the toe to keep it clean and prevent infection.
