How Winograd Wedge Resection for Ingrown Toenail is performed
Under local anesthesia or sedation, a common approach is to perform a wedge-shaped excision along the affected nail groove and adjacent soft tissue, while also addressing the corresponding germinal matrix to reduce the driving force for ingrown growth. The surgery can be performed using a scalpel, scissors, and electrocautery to complete the excision, hemostasis, and shaping, and the wound edges are sutured and pressure bandaged. Postoperative attention is paid to signs of bleeding, swelling, and infection. The goal is to resolve the conflict between the nail plate and the nail groove and restore daily walking. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
