- Abstract
Ingrown toenail is an important foot problem that requires surgical treatment in advanced stages. Many surgical methods have been reported for treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of ingrown toenail surgery without matricectomy performed in patients with advanced stage ingrown toenails. Materials and Methods: Twenty two patients were included in the study. Visual analog scale (pain / satisfaction) was applied to all patients before and after shoe wearing, and the patients were questioned regarding the timing of shoe wearing without discomfort. Results: Preoperative VAS (pain) score was significantly improved from 8.2±1.1 to 2.4±1.2 after shoe wearing (p<0.05). The mean timing for shoe wearing without discomfort was 13.3±2.7 day after the surgery. Recurrences were found in two patients (7.1%). Nail dystrophies and nail growing problems were not seen during follow-up. Conclusions: Successful results can be obtained in advanced stage patients with ingrown toenail surgery without matricectomy, care should be taken to make adequate soft tissue excision to reduce recurrence.
