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.
In our hospital, between January 2013 and January 2017, those operated with the Modified Limberg flap method after the Rhomboid excision due to pilonidal disease, and those operated with the un-roofing curettage method will be screened retrospectively. Patients will be divided into two groups as Un-roofing curettage group (UC group) and the Modified Limberg Flap group (LF group). Operation time, hospital stay time, return to work time, recovery time, Time to walk without pain, days, Time to sit on the toilet without pain, days, Postoperative VAS and recurrence will be compared between both groups
A case series involving the concomitant use of MicroMatrix® and Cytal® Wound Matrix 2-Layer with standard of care negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) during the management of pilonidal wound healing.
This project is a pilot study to determine if symptomatic pilonidal disease can be primarily managed with laser hair removal vs surgery.
Pilonidal disease often presents as a chronic, relapsing condition. A variety of procedures are used in the management of pilonidal disease, with varying degrees of morbidity, disease-free interval, and long-term success. In patients with new-onset or recurrent pilonidal disease, the investigators aim to address how minimally invasive trephine excision compares to other surgical procedures in terms of short- and long-term clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. In the absence of a gold standard surgical procedure, surgeon preference will help dictate the management of pilonidal disease. For many surgeons, this means a variation on open excision for pilonidal disease failing conservative management. However, outcomes for minimally invasive pilonidal excision (MIPE) as initially described by Gips and forthcoming Lipskar et al., are likely to alter management of the disease (Gips, 2008). The investigators wish to assess patient and surgeon satisfaction with MIPE, and short-term outcomes.
Chronic sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease is a common acquired condition associated with hirsutism that predominantly affects young male patients. Morbidity from this disease results in pain, embarrassment and loss of normal activities, causing absenteeism from work and school. Various surgical procedures have been described for the treatment of both primary and recurrent pilonidal disease counting: open excision and healing by secondary intention, marsupialization, excision and primary closure (midline or off-midline), excision and repair by flap. No single method has been accepted as the "gold standard", and none of them cancels the risk of recurrence. The optimal therapy for pilonidal sinus disease should be simple, with good aesthetic outcomes and a low recurrence rate. It must allow the return to normal activities quickly. The parasacral perforator flap seems to answer these entire requirements. No study compares this flap repair with the most common procedure, which is the open excision with secondary healing. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and the security of the reconstruction of the natal cleft with the perforator parasacral flap versus open excision with secondary healing in the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus.
Pilonidal Disease is disease of young patients with significant morbidity and is difficult to treat. Currently multiple methods are practiced for the treatment of the disease, two of them are preferred over others and practice extensively. First one involves excision of pilonidal sinus and dressings while the second one is excision of the pilonidal sinus with application of negative pressure wound therapy. None of these approaches is considered superior to the other, as not enough comparison studies of the two procedures have been done. In order to clarify this and find the best option for our patients, investigators are taking opportunity to compare these two modalities. If participants choose to participate in this study they will be randomly selected to one of these groups and the progress of wound healing will be monitored after surgery with the measurement of wound weekly and photographs. Investigators are hoping to find out which procedure is superior. This will allow investigators to provide the best treatment option for their patients in future.
In a single-blinded randomized, controlled study design the investigators wish to examine to effect of Prevena + ActiV.A.C. therapy system on the postoperative healing in patients operated for chronic pilonidal disease using Bascoms' Cleft Lift procedure. At the department of surgery at The regional Hospital i Randers Denmark the investigators handle cases from the entire region and have a decent patient volume. The investigators have used Bascoms' Cleft left since 2013 and registered complications and experience wound deshisseance or prolonged healing in approx. 15% causing the investigators to challange the postoperative regime.
Pilonidal disease refers to a common disease affecting mostly young males. It may present as asymptomatic pits, acute and painful abscess formation, or chronic discharging sinuses. There are many treatment options for the latter two manifestations but broadly speaking the surgical treatment of acute pilonidal abscess can fall into three categories: (1) incision and drainage, (2) de-roofing and curettage and (3) wide local excision. The evidence available for the surgical management of acute pilonidal abscess is limited. Previous studies have consistently demonstrated that incision and drainage results in high recurrence rates and should not be considered as the first-line treatment option for the management of acute pilonidal abscess. However, it is not clear whether abscess de-roofing with curettage or wide local excision should be considered as the surgical procedure of choice in acute pilonidal abscess. There has not been a prospective randomised study comparing abscess de-roofing with curettage and wide local excision for acute pilonidal abscess. The ideal surgical procedure would be one that results in the lowest rate of abscess recurrence, treats the underlying pilonidal sinus thereby reducing the need for re-operation but has acceptable post-operative pain, complications and time to complete wound healing.
