Hyaluronic Acid in Postoperative Cures in the Phenol/Alcohol Technique

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of a postoperative treatment protocol with hyaluronic acid-based ointment compared to the standard protocol (betadine gel) in partial chemical matricectomies with phenol alcohol technique. This will allow to see if the use of hyaluronic acid could help to reduce the healing time and total recovery of this surgical technique
