Nail Surgery

We offer two main options for nail surgery referral

1. Initially standard ingrown toenail referrals can be received by the podiatry team and partial or total nail avulsions may be performed after pre-surgical assessment.  Surgical matrix ablation is achieved chemically by phenol application.  Some patients may be offered electrosurgical matrix destruction.
2. Onward referral can be made to Consultant Podiatic Surgeon Mr E Barlow-Kearsley when excisional nail surgery can also be considered.  Excisional nail surgery includes Winograd or Zadeks procedures.  Direct referral to Mr Barlow-Kearsley can be made.
