Surgery for an ingrown toenail (or matricectomy) - PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard
At PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard, we offer specialized surgery for ingrown toenails, also known as matricectomy. This procedure is designed to alleviate the discomfort caused by ingrown toenails, which can lead to pain, inflammation, and potential infections. Our clinic is equipped to provide effective surgical solutions that prioritize patient comfort and recovery.
Ingrown toenail surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. The operation typically involves the removal of a portion of the nail that is causing irritation, ensuring that patients can return to their daily activities with minimal downtime. The procedure is carried out in a safe and sterile environment, allowing for quick recovery and effective pain management.
Patients who are at higher risk for ingrown toenails, such as diabetics, seniors, and adolescents, may find that surgery is the best option to prevent further complications. Our experienced podiatrists conduct thorough assessments to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to each individual’s needs.
The PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard team consists of Dr. Paryse Mayhew and Dr. Gabriel Cartier, both of whom are dedicated podiatrists with extensive training in podiatric medicine. They are committed to providing personalized care and ensuring that each patient feels supported throughout their surgical journey.
