In this study, demographic characteristics (age, gender, which toe is involved, family history) of the patients who were operated because of ingrown nails were examined, and the post-operative satisfaction score of the patients was noted, and the recurrence rate and complications were recorded.
The study was designed as single-center, single-surgeon observational study. Approximately 4000 patients who were operated on by the same surgeon between 2015-2020 due to ingrown nails were reached by phone, and patients' satisfaction was assessed by using the Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ-8). Outcomes such as retrospective treatment processes and complications were asked using a questionnaire, and patients' demographic characteristics were also recorded.
