Comparison of Pit Picking, Phenol and Combined Pit Picking and Phenol Applications in Pilonidal Sinus Treatment

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Pilonidal sinus disease is a common condition, and treatment options and outcomes vary greatly. Chronic symptomatic pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) primarily affects young adults and causes work loss. In this study, three treatment methods will be performed: the minimally invasive pit-picking procedure, crystallized phenol application (CPT), and a combined method (minimally invasive pit-picking procedure and CPT). The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of these three methods, evaluate short- and long-term results, and determine treatment success, the incidence of postoperative complications, chronic pain levels, recurrence rates, and patient satisfaction. Additionally, the effects of these methods on hospital stay, wound healing time, and workforce loss will also be examined.

Treatments
Bascom's pit-picking
In the pit-picking technique, midline pits will be excised with minimal tissue removal (skin margin \<1 mm). Hairs in the sinuses will be removed along with the curetted tissues. The midline excision areas and secondary pits excised near the midline will be closed with 3-0 polypropylene.
Crystallized phenol
In crystallized phenol treatment, the pit will be expanded with the help of a clamp, and after confirming it is uncomplicated, hair and infected tissue will be cleaned. Nitrofurazone will be applied to the pit edges. Crystallized phenol will be filled into the sinus with the help of a clamp.
Combined treatment
In the combined treatment, crystallized phenol will be applied after pit picking, and the pit area will be left to secondary healing.
