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.
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.
