A plan is presented which brings together three elements: the clinical stage of disease, the age of the patient, and the treatment regimes available. It is a practical and systematic yet flexible approach to the successful treatment of a given ingrown toenail. A general outline and specific detail of conservative and surgical technique are offered.

Objectives: The objective of this article is to report a completed cycle of audit of coding co-morbidities for bladder outlet surgery. We also present a novel way of working to achieve better accuracy in capturing admitted patient care data and coding in urology. Materials and methods:We undertook a retrospective case note and coding review of all bladder outlet surgeries performed in a single month. After initiating several measures to improve data recording and capture, we re-audited our results prospectively and analysed the results. Results: The initial accuracy of coding co-morbidities was 73%. This improved to 100% at re-audit. However, we found that procedure coding errors remained. We have devised a novel working model to improve all coding issues related to urology. Conclusion: It is possible to improve accuracy of coding by educating clinicians working alongside our integrated model of a team of a clinician with an interest in coding with coding and finance personnel.
