Why retained glass needs removal

Glass left in the foot causes chronic pain, infection and a stubborn discharging sinus. Same-day removal in a sterile setting is the simplest, cleanest answer.

Surgeon-led removal in Chelsea

Dr SOS removes embedded foreign bodies under local anaesthetic with proper instruments and lighting - far quicker than waiting for an outpatient slot.
