Official title
Comparison of Four Different Surgical Methods for the Treatment of Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
The aim of study to evaluate four different treatment options for pilonidal sinus disease in a randomized controlled trial to find the most suitable treatment option.
Detailed description
Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is common in young adults and causes repeated infection and inflammation in the sacrococcygeal region. It is most common in men between the ages of 20 and 30, which is why most publications about PSD are part of adult series.
This study aims to determine which treatment option is more effective and beneficial for patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus. Furthermore, it aims to contribute to more positive treatment outcomes by identifying the causes of recurrence and morbidity in patients. Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is quite common in adolescents. Treatment options vary from non-operative to endoscopic surgery. However, recurrence still occurs with every technique. Patients suffer from long treatment processes and morbidity. Although the exact causes of recurrence are not fully understood, it is thought that the patient's demographic characteristics and treatment option play a role. Most studies are retrospective and compare at most two treatment options. This is one of the reasons why it is not possible to reach a definitive conclusion about which treatment is more effective. Also, the number of studies conducted in the adolescent age group is limited. By conducting study prospectively and randomized, aim to prevent biased results.
