Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Ingrown nail is a deformity characterized by a transverse overcurvature of the lateral nail plate that causes nail fold inflammation. Currently recommended surgical procedures vary considerably.

OBJECTIVE:

We report our experience with a modified partial matricectomy and nail edge excision with CO2 laser.

METHODS:

A total of 116 ingrown nail edges in 77 patients were treated with the procedure.

RESULTS:

The incidence of recurrence was 2 of 76 cases (2.6%).

CONCLUSION:

This new surgical approach was found to be effective and is presented as an alternative treatment technique.
