Summary
Recurrent ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) can be effectively treated with the Winograd procedure when other methods fail. This incisional surgery offers a safe, long-term solution with high patient satisfaction.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Podiatry
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Onychocryptosis, or ingrown toenails, involves nail plate penetration of soft tissue, causing pain and inflammation.
- Conservative treatments and partial nail avulsion with chemical matrixectomy are common but may lead to recurrence.
- Chronic or recurrent cases necessitate definitive surgical management for lasting relief.

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
1.1K
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
1.7K
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
