Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic inflammation and infection of the sacrococcygeal region. Produces clinic findings with abscess and discharge in the sacrococcygeal region or painful sinus tract in the natal cleft. Its incidence rate among Turkish servicemen is reported to be 8.8% in a study. Although pilonidal sinus disease is common in men, this is the opposite in adolescence. Because adolescent girls are 2 or 3 times more. Karydakis flap and Limberg flap operations widely preferred in recent years in the surgical treatment of PSD. In our study, we aim to compare these two techniques prospectively and randomly.
Surgical treatment is still gold standard for pilonidal sinus disease. Several surgical techniques have been proposed to treat this disease in the last two decades. A new method - midline excision of pilonidal sinus and wound closure using gluteus maximus fascia plasty flap (GMFF) - was proposed recently as a new method of treatment that results in low reccurence rate and good cosmetic results. The aim of this study is to compare a new method (GMFF) with a traditional method (midline excision and primary closure) in terms of recurrence rate, complications and patient satisfaction with results.
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.
Sacrococcygeal local anesthesia was shown to reduce the time spent in the operating room as well as in the recovery room. In addition, decreased hospital stay and postoperative analgesic consumption. Given the effectiveness of sacrococcygeal local anesthesia in pilonidal sinus surgery, it would be valuable to study the effect of the local anesthesia with 75µg/mL of clonidine versus 150µg/mL.
Pilonidal disease (PD) is a chronic disease with a major impact on patient quality of life and productivity. Thus, wound healing would have a significant effect on patient quality outcomes, patient quality of life, and healthcare utilization, as well as societal benefits from allowing this vital population to return to productivity. There is no consensus on postoperative wound care after surgery for PD. Negative pressure therapy is commonly used. However, this therapy is costly and cumbersome, and not evidence-based to optimize wound healing or postoperative patient or financial outcomes. The investigators goal is to investigate the impact of MatriStem® Wound Matrix and MicroMatrix® (ACell, Inc., Columbia, MD) on pilonidal wound healing. Secondary goals are to evaluate the impact of MatriStem Wound Matrix and MicroMatrix on postoperative outcomes, quality of life, and healthcare costs after surgical management of pilonidal disease.
This study examines performing pilonidal sinus surgery minimal invasively with videoendoscopic approach.
Chronic pilonidal disease is a common problem with no ideal treatment. This is a prospective study that will evaluate the results of surgical pore excision, curettage, and injection of a regenerative tissue matrix, Cymetra, on patients with chronic pilonidal disease.
