Article Synopsis
  • A pilonidal sinus (PS) is an acquired condition that often leads to infections and inflammation, particularly in the sacrococcygeal area, and surgery is generally recommended as a treatment.
  • A systematic review covering two decades of research analyzed the effectiveness of various surgical techniques for treating sacrococcygeal PS, showing that midline closure had a significantly higher recurrence and infection rate compared to other techniques like the Limberg flap and Karydakis flap.
  • The study included data from 54 studies with over 3,600 participants, highlighting that certain surgical approaches are more effective in reducing both recurrence and infection, thereby suggesting a need for a consensus on the best surgical method for SPS.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to investigate the coexistence of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) and hirsutism in female patients.

Materials And Methods: The demographic and clinical data of 164 female patients who underwent surgery for PSD between January 2007 and May 2014 were evaluated for this retrospective cross-sectional study. Data collected for this study were age, BMI, the modified Ferriman and Gallwey scale (mFGS) for hirsutism, main symptoms, type of surgery, early postoperative complications (wound infection, wound dehiscence), recurrence, and follow-up.
