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.
