SMALL SURGICAL PROCEDURES

Small Surgical Procedures Performed by Podiatrists

At Feet on Focus, we specialize in providing comprehensive podiatric services to address a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. Our experienced team of podiatrists is dedicated to delivering personalized care and innovative treatments to help you achieve optimal foot health and mobility. As part of our commitment to excellence, we offer surgical procedures that are within the scope of practice for podiatrists in South Africa.

Surgical Procedures Offered

Ingrown Toenail Surgery: Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, inflammation, and potential infection. Surgical procedures for ingrown toenails may involve partial or complete removal of the affected nail edge, as well as treatment to prevent recurrence. At Feet on Focus, we offer the following ingrown toenail surgeries:
- Nail Wedge Resection: In cases where the ingrown toenail is mild to moderate, a nail wedge resection procedure may be performed. This involves removing a small portion of the nail along with the ingrown edge to alleviate pain and promote proper nail growth.
- Total Nail Removal (Matrixectomy): In severe or recurrent cases of ingrown toenails, total nail removal may be necessary. This procedure involves removing the entire nail plate, including the matrix responsible for nail growth, to prevent further ingrowth and recurrence of the condition.
Thick, Deformed, and Fungal Nails: Surgical intervention may be necessary for thickened, deformed, or fungal-infected nails that do not respond to conservative treatments. Procedures may include nail avulsion or debridement to improve nail appearance and alleviate discomfort.
Minor Skin Surgeries: Podiatrists are trained to perform minor skin surgeries to address various foot conditions. This may include the debridement of painful corns and calluses, which involves the removal of thickened skin to relieve pressure and discomfort. Additionally, we offer removal of other small skin lesions.
Wart Removal: Warts are common viral infections that can develop on the skin of the foot. Surgical procedures for wart removal may include excision, curettage, or cryotherapy to eliminate the wart and promote healing of the affected area.
