A comprehensive peri-operative protocol to decrease the risk of infection post coccygectomy: a case series study.

Background: Coccygectomy is the definitive treatment of coccygodynia refractory to conservative therapy, but post operative wound infection poses a significant challenge in these patients. We introduce a novel peri-operative technique incorporating a specific pre-operatively dietary regimen, polyethylene glycol enema, and prophylactic antibiotics. Post-operatively, patients adhered to strict hygienic protocols in addition to receiving antibiotics.
