Objectives: Being familiar with the least invasive treatment options for ingrowing toe nails

Introduction: Ingrown toenails are a common problem both in young adults as well as in older patients. Treatment of this often very inflammatory and painful condition must be adapted to the original cause. The traditional standard treatment in many institutions, wedge excision or Emmert plasty, leads to high postoperative morbidity, unfavourable aesthetic results and high recurrence rates.

Materials / method: Literature Review and presentation of own cases

Results: If a deformation of the nail plate such as pincer nails is the cause of the ingrown nail, as is most often the case in adults with this problem, a more subtle treatment option with better postoperative results is phenol cautery of the matrix horns. If a wide, but not deformed nail plate which has been cut back too far or is broken off is the cause of the ingrowing nail, a conservative treatment should be used, including debridement of hypergranulation in local anaesthesia and sufficient antibiotic treatment, sometimes combined with surgical removal of lateral nail walls and/or splinting.

Conclusion: With these minimally invasive treatments, better post-operative results with less pain and better aesthetic outcomes can be achieved.

Objectives: Attendees will understand the anatomy of nail fold tumors that can make them more difficult to completely resect. They will also understand how different degrees of resection impact reconstruction.

Introduction: Nail fold tumors can be difficult to fully excise due to the special anatomy of the nail fold and subsequent tumor growth. This can lead to a higher risk of recurrence.

Materials / method: We will review nail fold anatomy and subsequent tumor growth patterns, the role of pre-operative imaging, surgical and histologic techniques for complete and meticulous resection, and reconstructive modalities based on extent of resection required.

Results: No specific results will be presented as clinical trials have not been conducted on this topic.

Conclusion: Nail fold carcinomas can be completely excised and successfully reconstructed with proper techniques.
