BACKGROUND Pilonidal sinus (PS) disease of the sacrococcigeal region is an acquired condition resulting from penetration of shed hair shafts through the skin. Different types of operations have been described in the letterature. More recently fibrin glue has been used with succesfull. Aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of fibrin glue for the treatment of pilonidal sinus. PATIEN...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare two different treatment methods for pilonidal sinus with respect to complications, recurrence, and patient quality of life. METHODS Five hundred forty-nine patients who underwent surgery for pilonidal sinus between January 2007 and August 2012 were included in this study. The patients were classified into group I (excision and primary closure) and ...

AIM: to estimate results of minimally invasive laser procedures for pilonidal disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: the prospective randomized multicenter study included 154 patients with chronic and 76 acute inflammation sinus. Patients were blindly divided into equal groups by simple randomization. group A underwent coagulation curettage sinus, in B — sinus excision, C through a wound, D abscess ope...

BACKGROUNDS Various methods were defined to prepare patients for the pilonidal sinus surgery including local, spinal, and general anesthesia. But there is no powerful evidence to differ these procedures. Therefore, in the current study, we compared local and general anesthesia in the pilonidal sinus surgery. METHODS & MATERIAL in this clinical trial (IRCT201312031786N5) study 60 patients with...

We describe a case of anaerobic streptococcal myonecrosis as a rare complication after pilonidal sinus excision with primary closure. The recognition of the disease in any patient who has early septic deterioration after a surgical procedure requires aggressive management for survival.

Two cases of recurrent perianal suppuration are described in which the underlying pathology is believed to be pilonidal sinus disease affecting the perianal skin directly. This has given rise to intersphincteric fibrosis and, in one case, a subcutaneous track almost completely encircling the anus. The pathogenesis of the condition and its possible relationship to previous surgery are discussed.

OBJECTIVE To investigate wound healing rates and postoperative recovery of patients after a one-time phenol application for pilonidal disease. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total 30 consecutive patients with chronic pilonidal disease ranging from midline to complex sinuses were enrolled in the study. No preoperative laboratory examinations or bowel preparation were required. No antibiotic prophylaxi...
