The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing.

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Area of Science:

  • Podiatry
  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) are a common condition, primarily affecting young adults and often involving the great toenail.
  • Treatment strategies for ingrown toenails range from conservative measures to surgical interventions, tailored to the condition's severity and duration.
  • Four distinct stages of ingrown toenails have been established, guiding therapeutic decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the clinical experience and surgical outcomes of the super U technique for treating ingrown great toenails.
  • To characterize the patient population undergoing surgical treatment for ingrown toenails.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient satisfaction with the super U technique.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, descriptive study was conducted on patients surgically treated for ingrown great toenails using the super U technique.
  • Patient demographics, disease stage, surgical approach, and postoperative management were analyzed.
  • Healing time and postoperative complications were recorded.

Main Results:

  • Ten patients (mean age 35.7 years) underwent the super U procedure for ingrown great toenails (9 unilateral, 1 bilateral).
  • Stage II ingrown nails were most prevalent; half of the patients had prior surgical treatment.
  • Mean healing time was 6 weeks, with one instance of postoperative infection and mild-to-moderate pain for a week. Most patients reported satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The super U technique is highly effective for stage II ingrown toenails and recurrent cases.
  • It is considered a treatment of choice for stage III or IV ingrown toenails with significant hypertrophic tissue.
  • The technique demonstrates utility in managing complex and recurring ingrown toenail conditions.
