“…A number of risk factors are associated with the development of ING, including wearing tight shoes, hyperhidrosis, cutting nails too short, or not cutting the nails straight. These should be investigated and corrected as far as it is possible [7]. We found a predisposing factor in 64, 2% of our patients, with a preponderance of poor or tight-fitting shoes.…”

“…The safety of phenol has long been questioned but many studies have shown safety in the use of this product for both the operator and medical staff. A Spanish study has shown that the phenol concentration measured in the assistant's respiration zone was well below the environmental limit of daily exposure, with an index of only 10% exposure [7].…”

Background: Ingrown toenail is a common problem causing significant morbidity. Various procedures used for treating this painful condition were discussed in the literature.Objetctive: Through a prospective study we aimed to evaluate in a long-term follow-up the efficacy of partial nail plate avulsion combined with phenolic chemical matricectomy for the treatment of Ingrown toenails. Methods:We recruited outpatient from January 2006 to December 2009; all treated by phenol matricectomy and assured a regular follow up.Results: Consecutive 146 patients with a total of 171 Ingrown toenails were enrolled. There was no significant morbidity and the procedure was tolerated well by all patients. The short-term results were excellent. No severe complications occurred during the 21-month follow-up period. The overall recurrence was 2.7 %. Conclusion:Phenol cauterization compared with other surgical ablation techniques may be the treatment of choice of Ingrown toenails. It's an effective technique for the treatment of Ingrown toenails accompanied by less morbidity and lower recurrence rates.

“…Dies ist wiederrum mit einer erhöhten Infektionsrate assoziiert [40,53]. Zudem wird kontrovers diskutiert, ob die Phenolapplikation ein gesundheitliches Risiko für den Anwender darstellt [54][55][56]. Aus diesen Gründen empfehlen wir, auch aufgrund der Tatsache der ausgewiesenen chirurgischen Expertise an unserem Haus, die selektive chirurgische Nagelmatrixresektion.…”

Zusammenfassung Der Unguis incarnatus ist ein häufiges Krankheitsbild, mit dem sich Patienten in der Hausarztpraxis, der dermatologischen Klinik oder der chirurgischen Notaufnahme vorstellen. Häufig führt die inkonsequente konservative Therapie oder die falsch-indizierte operative Intervention zu langwierigen und komplikationsreichen Verläufen, inklusive Rezidiven. Die Patienten sollten über die Komplexität des Nagelorgans aufgeklärt werden, um der Banalisierung der Erkrankung vorzubeugen, und eine entsprechende Compliance in der Therapie zu erreichen. In diesem Manuskript wird die sachgerechte Versorgung des Unguis incarnatus im Sinne eines praktischen Behandlungsalgorithmus dargestellt. Die konsequente konservative Therapie ist bei akutem Unguis incarnatus mit milder Ausprägung die Therapie der ersten Wahl mit guten Behandlungsergebnissen. Nagelerhaltende operative Eingriffe kommen bei moderaten/schweren akuten Formen zum Einsatz. Der chronische Unguis incarnatus, ohne floride Infektion, stellt eine elektive Operationsindikation dar. Sowohl bei den nagelerhaltenden Eingriffen als auch bei erweiterten operativen Maßnahmen ist eine chirurgische Operationsaufklärung obligat.
