Brief summary
The phenol-alcohol procedure its the gold standard, but it has a long time of recovery. The aim of this study is to show the reduction of the phenolization time to 30 seconds reduces the healing time without affecting the effectiveness of the procedure.
Interventions
The same clinician (Dr. Pedro Montaño Jiménez) carried out all the surgical procedures of the hallux with a duration of 60 minutes. First, a digital blocking of the hallux using 2% of Mepivacaine in subcutaneous injection, after a surgical scrubbing of the operatory field, a digital tourniquet was done for the local hemostasis of the hallux; prior marking with a dermographic pencil of the portion of the nail lamina to be extracted.

The nail plate affected was separated from the nail bed and the eponychium with a free hoist. after removing the portion of the nail plate, a swab with a cotton ball soaked in 88% phenol was applied for 30 seconds to the zone of the matrix and the nail bed. This zone was irrigated with 76% ethanol for 1 minute and then with a physiological saline solution. The surgical wounds were covered with a thin layer of sulfadiazine silver cream 1% and after with non-stick absorbent sterile polypropylene. Gauze was placed around the hallux and covered with a sterile compressive bandage.
