“…However, as no infection was seen in any case of either group, it can be said that the serous exudate spontaneously recovered without any adverse clinical effect. In another method, Turan et al [26] could not obtain a response to treatment in approximately 20% of patients treated with cryotherapy, and recurrence was determined at a high rate after 6 months of follow up. Although the sole use of cryotherapy is effective symptomatically, high recurrence rates have been seen when it is used alone.…”

Aim: Ingrowing toenail is a very common disease which causes workforce losses. Although different techniques have been described in surgical treatment, one of the most frequently preferred methods is partial matrixectomy. The aim of this study was to compare the two techniques of curettage only and curettage together with electrocautery(C&E) used in addition to partial matrixectomy in ingrowing toenail surgery. Methods: Patients who were operated for ingrown nails between 2018 and 2022 were evaluated retrospectively. Two groups were formed of 43 patients applied with curettage only and 35 patients applied with C&E. The groups were compared in respect of operating time, postoperative complications and clinical results. Results: No significant difference was determined between the groups in respect of age, gender, affected side, classification, follow-up time, surgical duration and recovery time. Recurrence rate was higher in the curettage group (p=0.020) It occurred in 9 (20.9%) cases in the curettage group, while it occurred in 1 (2.9%) case in the C&E group. In the curettage group, the duration of erythema was observed to be significantly longer (p

“…Cryotherapy can be also used to treat ingrown toenails. Moreover, Turan et al [65] confirmed in their retrospective study that it can greatly and consistently improve the dermatological life quality index in suitable ingrown toenails.…”

Cryotherapy is becoming an increasingly popular method used in medicine, physiotherapy, and cosmetology. It is used in the form of whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) and local cryotherapy. It is a tool for achieving analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Since the beginning of its use, its influence on the mental state has also been pointed out. The aim of this study was to analyze the available literature on the effect of cryogenic temperatures on the skin and the mechanisms induced by such a stimulus and its influence on well-being. A literature search of keywords or phrases was performed in PubMed®. Various effects of WBC on skin characteristics (hydration, pH, level of transepidermal water loss), mechanisms of anti-inflammatory effects, and effects on adipocytes were shown. Research on the impact of individual skin characteristics is not consistent. Positive effects on the reduction of inflammation and oxidative stress have been noted. Cryotherapy is also successfully used in dermatology to treat lentil spots, actinic keratosis, and ingrown toenails, remove viral warts, or relieve itching in atopic dermatitis. The results of the review also indicate the effectiveness of WBC as an adjunctive treatment for obesity. The number of papers available on the direct effects of WBC on the skin is still limited, despite the fact that it represents the first contact of the human body with cryogenic temperatures. Available data show that cold as a physical stimulus can be a safe and useful tool in cosmetology.

“…The literature reports that surgical and conservative methods applied with various techniques are effective. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Conservative treatments, such as applying cotton plugs under the nail plate and using nylon threads to elevate the nail plate, are reportedly effective. [12,13] Other reportedly effective conservative treatment methods include phenoltrichloroacetic acid, local triamcinolone acetonide, and cryotherapy treatments applied locally to the affected area, and the literature describes many surgical techniques for ingrown toenails that are similar to one another.…”

Background: Many surgical techniques have been reported for the treatment of ingrown toenails. Occurrences of infection after matricectomy procedures could cause clinicians to prefer using external braces to treat ingrown toenails. This study compares patients with ingrown toenails who underwent the nail fixation technique and the Winograd technique. Methods: Patients who underwent ingrown toenail surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The patients’ demographic characteristics (age, gender, body mass index [BMI] morphology according to Heifetz classification, surgical technique, visual analog scale (VAS) values, time to return to daily activities (days), complications, and satisfaction levels were all recorded. Results: Seventy patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 33 underwent nail fixation and 37 underwent the Winograd technique. No significant statistical differences were found in terms of patients’ age, gender, BMI, preoperative clinical features, long-term satisfaction, and ingrown toenail recurrence rates between the two groups, but time to return to daily activities and VAS values were statistically significantly lower in patients treated using nail fixation compared with the Winograd technique. Conclusion: Nail fixation can be an effective surgical treatment option for an ingrown toenail.
