About this study

Official title: A Single Center Experience in the Management of Pilonidal Disease; the Impact of Pits Location on the Choice of the Best Surgical Option.

Sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease (PND) is a common entity affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the upper portion of the natal cleft of the buttocks. It is characterized by the presence of sinus tracts with recurrent inflammation and infection. It poses a significant healthcare problem due to its related morbidity, impaired quality of life, and financial costs.

Read the detailed description

This acquired disease is caused by negative suction of the hair present in the natal cleft region, leading to a foreign body reaction and subsequent granuloma . It affects 26 per 100000 people, and it mainly affects young men . Surgery for PND is frequently performed in Egypt by general surgeons, with no published data regarding its incidence or prevalence in the Egyptian population.

The PND patient may report different presentations ranging from asymptomatic disease to acute infection and abscess formation. Others may have a chronic disease with recurrent perianal inflammation and discharge.

Multiple surgical options have been described for chronic PND. However, no technique has been universally accepted. The idea of any procedure is to excise the pits with the related sinus tracts leaving healthy tissue as possible to decrease recurrence. The most commonly performed surgical techniques include excision with either primary closure, lay open, or flap-based reconstruction.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Select the best operative technique as regard the number and distribution of the pits in pilonidal sinus cases.

    best surgical option based on pits location

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Recurrence rate

    how many cases developed recurrence

    Measured: 6 months - 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the incidence of complications such as: wound infection, wound dehiscence, postoperative pain.

    complication rate

    Measured: 1 month
