ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate clinical effect of tampon tamponade combined with wedge resection of the nail folds in the treatment of ingrown toenail-induced paronychia.

Methods:

A total of 96 patients with ingrown toenail-induced paronychia were collected from Department of Emergency Medicine, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between August 2017 and April 2019, and randomly and equally divided into 2 groups by using a random number table control group treated surgically with the Winograd method, and treatment group treated with tampon tamponade combined with wedge resection of the nail folds. All the patients were followed up for 6 - 23 months after surgery.

Results:

Six months after operation, 47 (97.92%) and 41 (85.42%) cases were cured in the treatment group and control group respectively, and the cure rate significantly differed between the 2 groups ( χ2 = 4.909, P < 0.05) . The visual analogue scale scores for pain were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group on day 3 and 1 month after operation (both P < 0.05) . The postoperative recurrence rate and infection rate were 0 and 2.08% in the treatment group respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (6.25%, 12.5%, respectively, both P < 0.05) .

Conclusion:

Tampon tamponade combined with wedge resection of the nail folds is effective for the treatment of ingrown toenail-induced paronychia with a simple operative procedure and a low postoperative recurrence rate, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
