No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study wants to improve patient care affected by pilonidal sinus during and after surgery. Pilonidal sinus excision is a frequent procedure, despite this, there is still not an appropriate surgical technique because of a lack of quality comparative studies.

Conditions

  • Pilonidal Sinus

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Primary closure

Asymmetric skin incision and total excision of the lesion with monopolar scalpel. Accurate hemostasis, creation of a cutaneous-subcutaneous flap, primary closure with non-absorbable sutures, optional aspiration drainage.

PROCEDURE

Fistulectomy

Evaluation of the cavity using a 0.5-1 mm metal probe which will be inserted into the skin orifice. Excision of the skin around the orifice and debridement/excision of the cavity by monopolar scalpel or Trephines
