Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to reduce the volume of dead space by a modification in kardakis flap procedure and consequently, to reduce the use of drains, wound drainage, seroma and hematoma formation, skin degradation and recurrence rates. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Reduction Dead Space Volume With Karydakis Modification

The purpose of this study is to reduce the volume of dead space by a modification in kardakis flap procedure and consequently, to reduce the use of drains, wound drainage, seroma and hematoma formation, skin degradation and recurrence rates.

Read the detailed description

The study was a pilot study of 80 patients. Excluding criteria were previous sinüs surgery, active infection, patients who did not accept the procedure and patients under age of 18. After excision of the sinüs volume was measured using a beaker. A flap extending across the cut (Karydakis) was prepared in medial edge of the wound, 1 cm deep and 2 to 3 cm to be towards the interior. Prepared flap was shifted to the medial and sutured to presacral fascia with vicryl 2/0. To reduce the volume of the dead space formed in the lateral, 5 mm skin was excised along the incision in the flap side. Skin was approximated with sutures in the form of intermittent, using 2/0 poliprolen. No drain used. All patients were discharged on postoperative day 1. Sutures were removed 2 weeks later. All patients for at least 6 months were followed for wound drainage, seroma and hematoma formation, separation of skin and and recurrence.

    Description of a new surgical technique in pilonidal sinüs surgery in order to reduce dead space volume.

    A flap extending across the cut (Karydakis) is prepared in medial edge of the wound, 1 cm deep and 2 to 3 cm to be towards the interior. Prepared flap is shifted to the medial and sutured to presacral fascia with vicryl 2/0. To reduce the volume of the dead space formed in the lateral, 5 mm skin is excised along the incision in the flap side. Skin is approximated with sutures in the form of intermittent, using 2/0 poliprolen. No drain used

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A new surgical technique in people with PILONIDAL SINUS, run by Siverek Devlet Hastanesi.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effects of reducing the dead space volume (Change in dead space volume) with a modification in The Karydakis Method in sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus surgery (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2015.
