Nail surgery is a type of surgical procedure that is performed on the nails. It is typically done to treat a variety of conditions, including ingrown toenails, fungal infections, and other abnormalities of the nails. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia to numb the area, and may involve removing part or all of the affected nail. Recovery time after nail surgery can vary, but most people are able to return to their normal activities within a few days.
