What is the name of the surgery to remove an ingrown toenail?

It's all right here @ http://familydoctor.org/208.xmlWhat is the name of the surgery to remove an ingrown toenail?
Why surgery? I lived with someone with ingrown toenails and learned to treat them. First, after a bath or soak, you file the top of the nail until it's thin - make sure you do the sides and don't go too thin - then you snip a small ';V'; in the center or a little towards the side that's worse - on the corners where it's digging in stuff tiny pieces of cotton soaked in an antiseptic. Don't trim the corners shorter than the middle. Or you can have surgery. Not really an answer to your question, eh?What is the name of the surgery to remove an ingrown toenail?
