Filter by:Pilonidal sinus disease is a common health-care problem, and surgical excision is the standard treatment modality. Controversy still exists regarding the best surgical technique for treating pilonidal disease in terms of minimizing disease recurrence and patient discomfort. In this study, the investigators compared the impact of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with that of minimally invasive techniques on pain reduction, return to daily activities, quality of life, and duration of wound healing after open excision and secondary closure.
Aim of the work To compare lay open technique versus Endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment as regards recurrence rate, operative data, postoperative pain, intra and postoperative complications, healing time and return to daily activity
The study's main goal is to observe how effective elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor is for improving the symptoms and signs of CF-related sinus disease.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus surgery (FESS) is a surgery done for chronic rhinosinusitis after failure of medical treatment. Intraoperative bleeding poses a challenge to both the surgeon and anaesthetist. Although blood loss is not massive during FESS, bleeding may obscure the surgical field prolonging the time of surgery or even leading to incompletion of the surgery. Different methods have been used to improve the surgical field but none without side effects. The use of diathermy carries the risk of local tissue damage with the risk of subsequent bleeding. Local vasoconstrictors carry the risk of systemic absorption. Induced hypotension may not be suitable for all patients; besides, this may necessitates the use of more anaestheic drugs with their associated side effects. In addition, none of theses methods have provided ideal surgical field for the surgeon.1-3 Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, has been used to decrease surgical field bleeding in different surgeries showing effectiveness in its topical, oral and intravenous use.4-6 The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of local, intravenous and combined use of tranexamic acid in improving the surgical field quality during functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Pilonidal disease is morbid condition of young productive population, that could impair quality of life with high cost for health care system. No consensus exists on optimal surgical treatment, even if several techniques have been proposed. In this preliminary experimental case-control study the investigators compared excision by knife and diathermy with the aim to investigate if wound dehiscence could be related to heat spreading during excision of the sinus.
Assessment of surgiflo injection for treating pilonidal sinus disease
A hot topic in lung transplantation is the treatment of persisting sinus disease/colonization in CF patients to prevent descending graft colonization and chronic allograft dysfunction. From 2012, the Hannover transplantation group has been using a conservative approach with topical nasal inhalation. It is now necessary to analyse the impact of the new approach on graft colonization, incidence of BOS, symptoms, QoL etc in comparison to a historical cohort. It is also important to establish which is the best among the different inhaled antibiotic regimens currently available.
THEME RELEVANCE. Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (SPD) is a congenital disease that's well spread and constitutes 1-2% of all surgical pathologies. In all Coloproctological pathologies, the disease composes 14-20% (G.I. Vorobjov, 2006; V.D. Fedorov, 2005; Gupta P.J. et al., 2005). Clinical manifestations of pilonidal sinus disease mainly due to the appearance of inflammation in it. The main approach in the complex treatment of this group of patients is to execute radical surgery. The guiding principles in it are adequate sanation and drainage of purulent focus. Despite the fact that this disease is the subject of numerous medical journals, monographs, research works, masters and doctoral theses, frequency of unsatisfactory outcomes remains high (recurrence - from 10% to 19%, wound inflammation - 20-30%). In this case terms of stationary and out-patient treatment increase till 30-70 days (G.I. Vorobjov, 2006; B.M. Dacenko et al., 2004; Cubukcu А., 2001, Perruchoud С, 2002). The frequency of unsatisfactory results after excision of SPD directly depends on the kind of surgery. After palliative surgery (incision and drainage of abscess) in 11.7 - 25.2% of patients occurs recurrence of the disease (McCallum I., King P.M., Bruce J., 2007;), for the open wound healing recurrence occur in 3-8% of the operated. For primary wound healing in 7,5-9,7% required re-surgery (V.K. An, 2003; A.A. Kartashev, 2011). Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease overwhelmingly affects people, mostly young working age, and treatment failure leads to long-term temporary disability of patients. In the last few years continue to discuss methods of one-time or multi-stage radical surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus, but to date there is no single approach to the choice of surgical treatment for this disease (V.L. Denisenko, 2008). Success of surgical treatment of SPD depends on the development and introduction of new devices and techniques exist to produce convergence and immobilization of the wound edges, thereby obtaining its primary healing and a significant reduction of wound surface. The high frequency of the disease and postoperative complications, as well as long-term temporary disability of patients demonstrates the relevance of the development of modern methods of radical surgery of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (V.I. Pomazkin, 2008). AIM OF RESEARCH. The aim of our research is to improve the results of complex radical surgical treatment of patients of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease through the development and introduction of new devices and techniques for convergence and immobilization wound edges. TASKS OF RESEARCH. 1. To conduct a comparative analysis the most common surgical treatment of SPD in the frequency of complications in the intra- and postoperative periods. 2. To develop a device for convergence and immobilization wound edges in patients with SPD. 3. To analyze the effectiveness of the developed techniques and devices in comparison with traditional surgical treatment. 4. To make practical recommendations on the options and methods of using the developed methods and devices. NOVELTY OF RESEARCH. For the first time, based on the design and creation of an approximation-immobilization device (RU Patent № 112020, Bull. № 1, 01.10.2012) will be improved the surgical treatment of patients with this pathology, clinical and anatomical study of the proposed device for different configurations of gluteal-sacrococcygeal region, as well as the analysis and justification of the basic parameters of wound (length, depth and width of the wound, the number of stitches, the complication rate , the area of the wound). Developed a method of closure of the wound defect after radical excision of pilonidal sinus by Krivonosov-Brezhnev (RU Patent № 2,464,943, Bull. № 30 from 10.27.12.), that significantly reduces the risk of postoperative complications in patients with acute inflammation of the SPD. For the first time an analysis of postoperative period in patients operated with the proposed methods compared with traditional methods of surgery was performed. POSSIBLE APPLICATION AREAS. Results of the research designed for use in the treatment process of coloproctological departments at all levels, as well as the learning process of medical schools. EXPECTED EFFECTIVENESS. 1. Scientific and technical effect: developed new techniques and devices for convergence and immobilization wound edges used for the treatment patients with SPD. 2. Medical and social effects: the introduction into clinical practice of the developed techniques and devices will improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with SPD by rigid fixation of wound edges, by reducing the time of postoperative wound healing, by decreasing the risk of complications in the early postoperative period.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a trial of directed high-dose nasal steroids improves residual smell loss in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis following sinus surgery. Other outcomes of this study include: identifying the differences in sinus airflow between patients who improve following nasal steroid treatment and those who do not, and to see if, in patients who improve following surgery, the improvement remains throughout follow-up.
