An ungiectomy is the painless removal of infected toe nail. A matricectomy is the process or surgically, electrically or chemically destroying all or part of the base nail portion of the nail matrix so that it will never regenerate the nail. This is a common surgery for infected ingrown toe nails.

Ungiectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of a toenail, often to treat ingrown toenails. Matrixectomy involves removing part of the nail bed to prevent the nail from regrowing in cases of chronic ingrown toenails. Both procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia.
