Generally, ingrown toenail surgery involves removing the portion of the nail that has grown into the flesh. The procedure typically includes disinfection, local anesthesia, nail removal, suturing, and dressing. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Disinfect the surgical site using iodophor or medical alcohol.
2. Administer local infiltration anesthesia at the base of the affected toe using lidocaine.
3. After the anesthetic takes effect, longitudinally excise the portion of the nail plate embedded in the perionychial tissue along with the underlying nail matrix.
4. Suture the incision with silk thread, disinfect the area again, and apply a sterile dressing.
It is recommended to undergo this procedure at a正规 hospital under the guidance of a qualified physician. After surgery, ensure adequate rest and minimize walking. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods to promote proper wound healing.
