Introduction: New surgical treatment methods are being investigated in sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. Minimal invasive methods such as endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSIT) and sinus laser therapy (SiLaT) have promising results and advantages of laparoscopic surgery.
Aim: To compare the efficiency and safety of EPSIT with SiLaT.
Material And Methods: Seventy-three patients with pilonidal sinus who had undergone EPSIT or SiLaT within 2 years were evaluated retrospectively. Data of patients' demographics, complications and postoperative course were collected and compared between the two groups.
Results: We analyzed seventy-three patients who underwent EPSIT or SiLaT, with a mean age of 23.4 ±8.4 (12-46) years and body mass index (BMI) of 25.5 ±4.5 (18-38) kg/m. Among them, 36 patients (26 males, ten females) underwent EPSIT and 37 patients (27 males, ten females) underwent SiLaT. Mean operative time was similar for both groups (32.3 ±14.8 vs. 31.0 ±14.8; p = 0.757). Early complications (minimal bleeding) were recorded in 2 patients in the SiLaT group. The duration of analgesic use was significantly lower in the EPSIT group compared to the SiLaT group (1.3 ±0.5 (1-3) vs. 1.9 ±1.1 (1-5); p = 0.005). The mean postoperative time of total wound healing was similar for both groups: 23.6 ±14.7 (12-90) vs. 25.2 ±14.5 (14-90) days (p = 0.385). There was no significant difference in the average time of return to total daily activity (3.4 ±0.9 (2-5) vs. 3.6 ±1.2 (2-7) days, p = 0.679). There were no significant differences between the groups regarding late postoperative complications (recurrence: 7).
Conclusions: Both methods have similar early and late complications. The duration of need for analgesic usage was shorter in EPSIT patients.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of the Karydakis flap procedure performed by a single surgeon for the treatment of pilonidal sinus, focusing on postoperative complications, recurrence rate, wound healing time, and return to daily life.
Methods: Authors performed a retrospective data analysis of patients who underwent reconstruction of pilonidal sinus using the Karydakis technique at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, Center for Severe Burn Injuries of Paracelsus Medical University, Klinikum Nürnberg, Germany, between 2014 and 2021. All cases were performed by a single surgeon.
Role of ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block for post-operative analgesia in pilonidal sinus surgery: A randomised trial.

Background And Aims: Pilonidal sinus surgery (PSS) can be done with local anaesthetic infiltration, spinal anaesthesia, or general anaesthesia (GA). Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is used for peri-operative analgesia. Erector spinae muscles extend to the sacral region, so it can provide post-operative analgesia in PSS.
