A new clinic was set up to deal with all toenail problems referred to a large general hospital. Ingrowing toenails were the commonest problem dealt with and phenol cauterization, either partial or complete, was the standard form of treatment. Over a 2-year period 1013 phenol cauterizations were carried out on 631 patients. After a minimum of 12 months follow-up, the recurrence rate was 2.96%. All recurrences were successfully treated by repeat phenol cauterization. We conclude that phenol cauterization should replace surgical ablation in the treatment of ingrown toenails.
一家新诊所成立，专门处理转诊至一家大型综合医院的所有趾甲问题。嵌甲是最常见的处理问题，苯酚烧灼，无论是部分烧灼还是完全烧灼，都是标准的治疗方式。在两年时间里，对631名患者进行了1013次苯酚烧灼治疗。经过至少12个月的随访，复发率为2.96%。所有复发患者均通过重复苯酚烧灼成功治愈。我们得出结论，在治疗嵌甲方面，苯酚烧灼应取代手术切除。
