The issue of surgical intervention worries everyone, because none of us can be one hundred percent sure of the future. For some, this method is a necessary measure. For some, this is the last chance to save life. Pessimists and simply sick people are distrustful of any procedure. But nevertheless, such methods now exist, and one of them is surgical intervention for an ingrown nail plate. And in some cases, even without a choice.
The procedure for carrying out the Ombredanne operation is not complicated or dangerous. It is practically painless and lasts a maximum of 25 minutes in a hospital setting.
The essence of the intervention is to remove the ingrown area, use an antiseptic drug and plastic surgery of the surrounding tissues for their further growth in a normal form. Surgeons perform all manipulations under local anesthesia. As a result, a special plate is placed in place of the growing nail to hold it in place. Therefore, after such a procedure, it is necessary to wear orthopedic shoes.
This is the first stage of recovery after an unsuccessful nail removal operation. The doctor applies a protective bandage to the wound, which is used in the classic method of nail removal. In this way, it helps maintain smoothness and prevents the possibility of painful scar formation.
An antibacterial bandage is applied to the infected area. It has a drying and restorative effect. After it, the surface begins to heal, and no infection occurs in the wound. Then a medicinal ointment is applied to the swelling, which helps reduce pain. This allows you to consolidate the achieved effect after removing part of the nail.
The fourth stage involves monitoring the problem area. The doctor will assess the condition and give recommendations for further wound care. This way you can protect yourself from complications and prevent recurrence of the problem. Following the recommendations is very important for successful rehabilitation.
