How Partial nail avulsion + phenolization is performed
This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. A common approach is to excise the corresponding nail plate along the ingrown edge and expose the corresponding germinal matrix area. Phenol is then used for chemical ablation of the target matrix to reduce the pressure on the nail groove from regrowth of that side edge. Asepsis and hemostasis are emphasized during the procedure, followed by pressure bandaging and hygiene instructions. Postoperative monitoring focuses on pain, exudate, and signs of infection. The goal is to relieve pain, reduce the risk of recurrence, and promote wound healing. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
