In this high-yield episode of Surgery in Boots, we get hands-on with two gritty, real-world cases that every clinician should know how to manage:
đź©ş Case 1: Foreign Body Removal (Upper Extremity)
Three embedded foreign bodies. One irritated arm. Watch as we locate, anesthetize, and surgically extract each object with precision and care. Learn when imaging is helpful, how to minimize tissue damage, and how to manage infection risk post-op.
🦶 Case 2: Severe Ingrown Toenail Excision
This isn’t your average nail border — we’re dealing with chronic inflammation, granulation tissue, and patient pain that’s off the charts. See how we perform a proper matrixectomy and discuss strategies to prevent recurrence.
💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:
• How to assess and remove soft tissue foreign bodies
• Local anesthesia techniques and wound exploration
• Proper nail bed technique and when to use chemical vs. surgical matrix removal
• Post-op instructions and complication prevention
Perfect for:
Medical students, ER and urgent care clinicians, surgical trainees, and anyone looking to improve their procedural confidence.
