    Recurrent ingrown toenails after nail avulsion were treated with soft-tissue resection in 20 patients. This procedure achieved a 60% cure rate for persistent ingrown toenails, offering a viable treatment option.

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric surgery
    • Dermatological surgery

    Background:

    • Ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) frequently recur after conservative treatments like nail avulsion.
    • Recurrence necessitates further intervention to achieve a definitive resolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of soft-tissue resection for recurrent ingrown toenails post-nail avulsion.
    • To determine the cure rate associated with this surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Soft-tissue resection was performed on 25 toes in 20 patients.
    • Patients had a history of recurrent ingrown toenails following previous nail avulsion procedures.

    Main Results:

    • A successful cure rate of 60% was achieved in the treated patients.

  • The study assessed the outcomes of the soft-tissue resection procedure.

    • Conclusions:

    • Soft-tissue resection demonstrates a moderate cure rate for recurrent ingrown toenails.
    • The procedure's benefits and indications for persistent onychocryptosis warrant discussion.
