Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Sterile Saline solution
Arm Description
The investigators compared intraoperative antiseptic irrigation using 0.9% saline solution and 0.1% polihexanide.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
bacterial count (CFU/cm2)
The percentage of inoculum reduction at the irrigation step was calculated as follows: percentage of inoculum reduction = 100 e (1003 Ii)/Is, where Ii is the bacterial count (CFU/cm2) at the irrigation step and Is is the inoculum (CFU/cm2) at the surgery step.
Bacteria were identified using standard laboratory methods. The limit of detection in the nailfold test was 1.33 CFU/cm2.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators conducted a controlled, prospective randomized study to examine the antiseptic efficacy of intraoperative irrigation methods during nail avulsion surgery.
Detailed Description
The investigators conducted a controlled, prospective randomized study to examine the antiseptic efficacy of intraoperative scrubbing methods during nail avulsion surgery. The investigators compared intraoperative antiseptic scrubbing using 0.9% saline solution and 0.1% polihexanide. Swab samples were taken from each patient at 5 distinct stages throughout the surgical procedure, and bacterial culture analysis was performed (positive culture rate, total inocula count, reduction of bacterial load, and identification of specific microorganisms).
