F011 Nail Surgery: The Small Procedures to the Nail Apparatus that Frighten You
DESCRIPTION
The diagnosis and treatment of nail pathology often requires a surgical procedure. Even if simple (nail anesthesia, bed and matrix biopsy, ingrown toenail cure,) they frighten both the practitioner and the patient. The difficulty of access to a dermatologist or a surgeon specialized in nails greatly delays the management of these patients, often for simple pathologies that could be managed in a general dermatology setting. The goal of this forum is to address and teach the fundamental procedures to allow dermatologists to be autonomous in the management of a majority of nail pathologies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Determine the best surgical approach for nail conditions and develop confidence in approaching these procedures
