Wart Treatment & Ingrown Toenail Surgery in Port Macquarie
Performed with Precision & Care
At Sandy Gugenberger Podiatrist, we offer minor surgical procedures performed by Sandy Gugenberger and Emma Coombes in our Port Macquarie clinic. These procedures aim to address specific foot conditions effectively and with minimal discomfort. Our minor surgical procedures include:
- Partial nail avulsion: For patients experiencing recurrent ingrown toenails, ingrown toenail surgery may provide lasting relief. Partial nail avulsion involves surgically removing the problematic nail edge under local anaesthetic. After removal, the nail bed and surrounding tissue are chemically cauterised to prevent regrowth.
- Wart curettage: Plantar warts can be painful and persistent. Our wart curettage procedure involves carefully removing the wart from the skin and then using chemical cauterisation to prevent its return. This minor surgery is performed under local anaesthetic in our clinic, ensuring minimal disruption and effective treatment.
- Quality care in a comfortable setting: Sandy Gugenberger and Emma Coombes are qualified podiatrists focused on providing high-quality care. Each procedure is performed with precision and attention to patient comfort. Our clinic maintains strict hygiene standards and uses advanced techniques, designed to optimise outcomes and recovery.
