Area of Science:

  • Surgical outcomes
  • Pilonidal sinus disease management

Background:

  • Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is characterized by high recurrence rates, leading to ongoing controversy regarding optimal treatment strategies.
  • Identifying factors influencing recurrence is crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing treatment failures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze potential risk factors associated with recurrence in patients with pilonidal sinus.
  • To evaluate the recurrence rates of different surgical interventions for recurrent pilonidal sinus.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis was conducted on 41 patients diagnosed with recurrent pilonidal sinus.
  • Surgical interventions included excision with secondary healing/lay open (30 patients) and excision with flap closure (11 patients).
  • Patient demographics, identified risk factors, and recurrence rates were recorded and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Of the 41 patients (33 male, 9 female; mean age 24.9 years), risk factors were identified in 32 patients.
  • The overall recurrence rate in this cohort was 9.7%.
  • The study observed similar recurrence rates compared to existing literature.

Conclusions:

  • Identifying pre-operative risk factors may aid in tailoring treatment for recurrent pilonidal sinus.
  • The observed recurrence rate of 9.7% is consistent with current literature, indicating the need for further investigation.
  • Comparative studies are essential to determine the most effective surgical approach for minimizing recurrence in pilonidal sinus disease.
