Aim: The aim of this study was to assess Dutch surgical practice and outcomes for acute pilonidal abscess.
Method: Patients with pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) who underwent surgical treatment between 1 March 2020 and 1 March 2021 at 36 participating hospitals were included in a prospective observational cohort study. For the present study, only patients with an acute abscess were included for analysis.
Aim: Managing pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) remains challenging due to high recurrence rates and morbidity associated with treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes one year after surgical treatment for chronic PSD in the Netherlands.
Method: Patients with PSD who underwent surgical treatment between March 1, 2020, and March 1, 2021, at 36 participating hospitals were included in a prospective observational cohort study.
Aim: In recent years, the paradigm for the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (SPSD) has shifted from surgical excision toward more minimally invasive techniques. Although extensive research has been conducted on the minimal invasive phenolization technique for primary SPSD, literature in recurrent SPSD is lacking. The purpose of this study was to report the long-term outcomes of the phenolization technique for recurrent SPSD.
