Advanced Surgery and Complications

  • Chapter

Abstract

Advanced nail surgery is simply a step forward in dermatologic surgery. As the procedures are more sophisticated, they require a better surgical environment, occasionally the help of an anesthesiologist and specific surgical instruments. Many procedures have been described, but complete excision of nail with skin graft reconstruction, nail bed or nail matrix grafting, surgery of the digital myxoid cyst are among the most frequent. Any surgical procedure relies on a good knowledge of the anatomy, the extensor tendon being the closest to the nail unit and the most at risk. This chapter described how dermatologists can handle these difficulties and avoid postoperative complications.
