Postoperative Dressing Regimens in Nail Surgeries: A Scoping Review

Collation of similar outcome measures was not possible due to the variability in outcome measures, and a lack of high-quality studies investigating the efficacy of specific dressing regimens for the reduction of postoperative complications or improving postoperative healing meant specific conclusions could not be formed. However, a consensus in the included articles was that primary dressings were more likely to impact postoperative outcomes when compared to secondary dressings. Further high-quality research investigating the efficacy of postoperative dressing regimens in nail surgery are needed.
