ObjectiveTo develop an easy and effective surgical approach to solve the problem of ingrown toenails. MethodsWe identified 67 patients with ingrown toenails in varying degrees of severity which were treated with the standardized approach. ResultsAll the patients had a completely recovery from the disease and none complained about the cosmetic result. Study limitationsThe number of cases is limited. ConclusionThe standardized surgical approach is easily learned and very effective. The recurrence rate is lower than with other treatments. ER -
