View clinical trials related to Umbilical Granuloma.
Filter by:Umbilical granuloma is most frequent abnormality of umbilicus in infants that is defined as a moist, fleshy and pink granulation tissue at the center of umbilicus. The most commonly used treatment for umbilical granuloma is silver nitrate cauterization. Various other treatment options for umbilical granuloma include dressing with alcohol and antiseptic solutions, topical table salt, topical steroid application, suture ligation, surgical excision, electrocautery and cryotherapy. Topical steroid ointment is easily available in market, it is cheaper and safer than silver nitrate. OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of treatment with silver nitrate versus topical steroid for umbilical granuloma in terms of healing after 3 weeks of treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Setting: Department of Pediatric Surgery, Children Hospital, Lahore Duration: 6 months after approval of synopsis [Sept 20, 2022 till March 20, 2023] DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE 2 After approval of study from hospital Ethical committee & CPSP, all patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were admitted through the pediatric surgery outpatient department of The Children's Hospital Lahore. 354 Patients were divided in two equal groups randomly, using lottery method Group A (control group) in which silver nitrate was applied to the lesion once a week and Group B (experimental group) in which topical steroid ointment was applied to the lesion twice a day. Patients were followed after 3 weeks to see healing of umbilical granuloma. Photographs were taken before start of treatment and on regular intervals at each follow up visit. All data was collected by myself.
it is the study for the disease called umbilical granuloma to look for the better treatment option which can be performed by healthcare physicians and local nurses and even parents
To study and compare the efficacy and safety of Double Ligation and Topical Silver Nitrate Solution while treating children with Umbilical Granulomas

Please provide the investigator's "Official Title" (e.g., Director, Head of Otolaryngology, Principal Investigator, Clinical Professor).Pilonidal sinus disease is a common health problem. It is seen most frequently in the sacrococcygeal region. However, it can also observed in the umbilicus. Although rare, umbilical pilonidal sinus (UPS) disease, is still poorly understood both in terms of diagnosis or pathophysiology and the best treatment options. The incidence and the prevelance of the disease is thought to be 0.6% and %0.1, respectively, and is more common in males. Pilonidal sinus disease of the umbilicus is caused by hair penetrating the skin, causing a foreign-body reaction and development of a sinus lined with granulation tissue. Most of the patients complain of pain, discharge or bleeding from the umbilicus when symptoms develop. It can be diagnosed with a careful examination, in which hairs can be seen deep in the umbilicus and usually protrude from a small sinus. The first article, which can be considered as umbilical pilonidal sinus disease was first published by Dr. Warren in 1854, and he described the removal of a sprinkle of hair from the umbilicus. But the term "umbilical pilonidal sinus" was first described and used by Williams and Patey in 1956. Since this initial reference to umbilical pilonidal sinus there have been approximately only 30 reports in the literature. Most of them are case reports and remaining consists of small case series. But until now no prospective randomised studies have been published related to UPS. UPS is one of the most neclected disease that few reported studies and lack of the prospective randomised studies in the literature, and no cosensus about the treatment of the disease supports this idea. However, it may be actually more common than thought and may be found more frequently if sought specifically. The aim of the study was to compare the results of conservative and surgical treatment, to create an algorithm for the management of the disease, and gain more information about the etiologiy, pathogenesis, and course of the disease. The investigators hypothesise that surgical treatment of UPS will be better than conservative management in terms of recurrence rate, healing time, patient comfort and satisfaction, and cost effectiveness.
