Ingrowing toenails are a common problem causing significant morbidity. Many of the procedures used for treating this painful condition cause considerable discomfort and have high failure rates. In recent years, phenol cauterization of the nail bed has been used increasingly.
A retrospective study was carried out of all patients treated by this method in the authors' clinic during the period January 1996 to December 2001. In this study, phenol cauterization is the standard form of treatment and 948 phenol cauterizations were carried out in 764 patients.
There was no significant morbidity and the procedure was tolerated well by all patients. Overall recurrence was 4.3% (33 patients) after 18 months. All symptomatic recurrences were successfully treated by repeating phenol cauterization.
Phenol cauterization compares favourably with other surgical ablation techniques for ingrowing toenails and may be the ablation procedure of choice of an ingrowing toenail.
嵌甲是一个常见问题,会导致明显的发病率。用于治疗这种疼痛病症的许多手术会引起相当大的不适,且失败率很高。近年来,甲床苯酚烧灼术的使用越来越多。
对1996年1月至2001年12月期间在作者诊所接受该方法治疗的所有患者进行回顾性研究。在本研究中,苯酚烧灼术是标准治疗形式,对764例患者进行了948次苯酚烧灼术。
无明显发病率,所有患者对该手术耐受性良好。18个月后总体复发率为4.3%(33例患者)。所有有症状的复发通过重复苯酚烧灼术均成功治疗。
与其他嵌甲手术切除技术相比,苯酚烧灼术具有优势,可能是嵌甲切除术的首选方法。
