Subungual Hematoma Trephination
Subungual hematomas, often known as nail or toenail blisters, develop when a digit is directly struck by a blunt force. Mechanisms include things like stubbling your toe, banging your finger in the car door, and dropping something heavy on your toe. Hemostasis development and bleeding beneath the nail follow.

What to expect at the time of your surgery:
Since the procedure is usually not very painful, it can usually be completed without the need for anaesthesia. Nonetheless, a local anaesthetic may be administered to numb the area if the patient is in excruciating discomfort or if a bigger hole is required. The medical professional makes a tiny hole in the nail using a sharp, sterile tool, needle, or specialised trephine tool. The blood can drain out of this hole that is created at the location where it is stuck. The trapped blood usually begins to flow out of the subungual hematoma as the hole is made. Pain and pressure can be released in this way.
What to expect after your surgery:
To protect the nail and encourage healing, the medical professional may bandage or apply a sterile dressing to the finger following the treatment. After subungual hematoma trephination, recovery is typically rapid. Usually, the pain disappears right after, and the nail will eventually grow out. After the treatment, patients can typically get back to their regular activities quickly.
