Gp says my toenail is damaged and has caused granulation of nail bedswollen, infected and painful! do i really need surgery with general anaesthesia?

Surgeon: Will determine if you need surgery, but no you do you do not need general anesthesia for toe surgery

No: An ankle or block in the digital area can be performed, you may want a little sedation but make sure the person doing the sedation is trained to do so.

Digital toe block: A digital toe block is performed with local anesthetic similar to what you get at a dentist office. Granulation tissue usually occurs on the side of the nail is that what you meant?

No: You can have nail surgery with local anesthesia.
