Corn excision, a surgical procedure aimed at removing corns or calluses, begins with the area being cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. A small incision is then made over the corn, allowing the surgeon to carefully extract it along with any underlying tissue contributing to its formation, using surgical instruments. Depending on the size and location of the corn, the incision may be sutured or left to heal naturally. A sterile dressing is applied to the surgical site to protect it and promote healing. Patients are advised to keep the area clean and dry while avoiding pressure on it during the healing process. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure proper healing. Corn excision is generally safe and effective when performed by a qualified healthcare professional, with minimal risks of complications.
Corn excision may be necessary when corns cause pain, discomfort, or difficulty walking. Conservative treatments such as padding, orthotics, or changes in footwear may be ineffective in relieving symptoms.
Corn excision is typically performed by a healthcare provider using surgical instruments such as scalpels or scissors. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic before the corn is carefully cut away.
Recovery time varies depending on factors such as the size and location of the corn, as well as individual healing factors. In general, most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure, although complete healing may take several weeks.
Corns can often be prevented by wearing properly fitted shoes, avoiding high heels or tight footwear, using protective padding or cushions, and maintaining good foot hygiene and skin care.
