Summary

In brief, the right management of complex or recurrent pilonidal disease (PD) is still controversial. In our institution we treat these conditions with Bascom's cleft lift surgery. Though this approach for most parts is beneficial, a large proportion of patients will suffer from prolonged post operative healing. We have published some positive results on treating non-healing postoperative wounds after cleft lift surgery with autologous fatty cell transplantation. The overall aim of the project is to investigate whether the addition of autologous fat cell transplantation in the surgical treatment of PD reduces the incidence of patients with prolonged postoperative healing. In a double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial, we will investigate the effect of injections of freshly harvested autologous fatty cells in addition to Bascom's cleft lift operation versus Bascom's cleft lift operation alone.

Conditions

  • Pilonidal Disease

Interventions

OTHER

injection of freshly collected adipose cells

A small incision is made bilaterally in the lumbar region. 2-300 ml of Ringer's acetate with 1 mg of added adrenaline is introduced with an infusion cannula fan-shaped into the subcutaneous adipose tissue on each side of the region. Adipose tissue is harvested for a total of approx. 80 ml. 20 ml Bupivacaine 5 mg/ml is distributed on each side of the lower back. The incisions are then closed with Steri-Strips and a compressive dressing is applied to reduce the risk of hematoma. The harvested adipose tissue then centrifuged in bulks of four at 1000 rpm. minute for 3 minutes. The liquid fraction is discarded. Using a three-way tap system, the adipose tissue is microfragmented between two 10 ml syringes by moving the contents back and forth at least 20 times. The adipose tissue is then distributed in 2 ml syringes for injection. A total of between 25 and 55 ml of usable adipose tissue will be harvested.

PROCEDURE
