Dear All,

There is a distinct possibility that within 2 years that the use of Phenol BP in nail matricectomies could be withdrawn.
Looking at the recent edition of the Podiatry Now and BJP there were 2 articles on this topic.
One organisation opting for Sodium Hydroxide and the other suggesting Liquid nitrogen.
I have recently spoken to our risk manager about this.
He is adamant that we do not replace Phenol with Sodium Hydroxide.
So we are left with UREA, Liquid Nitrogen and Electrosurgery.
I personally am keen on Electrourgery especailly since the cost of the equipment has become affordable.
I spoke to our clinical director today and she says the capital cost is reasonable and would probably be successful with a decent bid for the sums required based on a decent plan of implementation.
SO
Does any body have experience with Electrosurgery and how it compares to Phenol?
Any advice and information would be gratefully received.
regards David
