- Abstract: Nail surgery is often regarded difficult and therefore a neglected part of dermatologic surgery. However, the nails are cutaneous appendages with many different diseases, the diagnosis of which is an integral part of every dermatologist’s daily routine. It is not different from surgery of other skin areas and there should be no reason for the patient and the dermatologist not to perform a surgical act on the nail.
