Surgery for an ingrown toenail (or matricectomy) - Ottawa Foot Clinic
The Ottawa Foot Clinic offers specialized surgery for ingrown toenails, also known as matricectomy. This procedure is designed to alleviate the discomfort associated with ingrown toenails, which can lead to pain, inflammation, and potential infection. Our clinic is equipped to handle cases with precision, ensuring that patients receive the appropriate care tailored to their specific needs.
Our ingrown toenail surgery is performed under local anesthesia, allowing for a minimally invasive approach. During the procedure, the affected portion of the nail is carefully removed, and any infected tissue is treated to promote healing. Patients can expect a quick recovery, typically resuming daily activities within a couple of weeks. Follow-up care is provided to monitor healing and address any concerns.
At Ottawa Foot Clinic, we understand that certain individuals, such as diabetics and seniors, may be at higher risk for complications related to ingrown toenails. Our team is dedicated to assessing each patient’s unique situation to determine the most effective treatment plan, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
The clinic is led by Antoun Hajj, a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, along with a skilled team of chiropodists, including Élie Bélanger and Rachel Ollerton. Together, they provide comprehensive foot care, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure the best possible results for all patients.
