Ingrown Toenail (excision of Hallux matrix) Procedure
Excision of hallux matrix, also known as ingrown toenail removal, is a procedure to remove a portion of the ingrown toenail or the entire nail plate. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent infection and discomfort, as well as to prevent it from worsening. During this surgical procedure, the surgeon will carefully and safely use specialized tools to remove the problematic part of the nail. Oftentimes, during ingrown toenail removal, the surgeon will remove the hallux matrix, as this helps to ensure the infection does not return.
ĀæCuando es necesario este procedimiento?
Patients may consider undergoing surgery for an ingrown toenail for a few different reasons. Oftentimes, patients can take care of an ingrown toenail at home, without the need for invasive surgery. Common at-home solutions involve trimming the nail regularly and applying topical medications. However, in severe cases, these at-home methods are ineffective and patients may consider surgical intervention.

QuƩ esperar
The surgeon will use local anesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortable throughout the procedure process. Next, the surgeon will sterilize the area before beginning the procedure. The surgeon will remove both sides of the toenail, along with a portion of the root. This procedure is very straightforward and typically takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
After the procedure, patients may experience pain around the toe, which is manageable through pain medications provided by the doctor. Patients will be instructed on techniques to ensure the area stays clean to prevent infection. Patients are able to walk but should wear the recommended shoes and not engage in serious physical activity.
