Trephination for primary pediatric pilonidal sinus disease: medium term functional and recurrence outcome of a large cohort.

Purpose: Minimal incision procedures have been recommended for pediatric pilonidal sinus disease, based on small studies with short follow-up. We aimed to describe medium-term outcomes of trephination in a large cohort.

Methods: Retrospective chart review and additional concluding telephone interviews for all children who underwent primary trephination in our institution over 5.

Subarachnoid anesthesia for sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease treatment: A case report.

Rationale: Sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease (SPD) is a chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting young males. This case report details the perioperative anesthetic management of a patient undergoing SPD surgery under subarachnoid anesthesia.

Patient Concerns: A 48-year-old obese male (body mass index 28 kg/m2) presented with recurrent sacrococcygeal swelling, pain, and purulent discharge for 2 months.

Sinus laser therapy versus Karydakis flap procedure in the management of pilonidal sinus disease: a comparative analysis of intraoperative parameters and postoperative outcome.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the utility of minimally invasive sinus laser therapy (SiLaT) versus flap surgery (Karydakis flap procedure) in terms of intraoperative parameters and postoperative outcome in patients with pilonidal sinus disease (PSD).

Methods: A total of 106 patients with PSD (mean ± SD age: 26.4 ± 7.

Utility of Keystone Flap in Armory of Dermatosurgeons.

Purpose And Background: To create awareness among dermatosurgeons about the versatility of keystone flaps in re-surfacing post-excisional small, medium and large skin defects.

Aims And Objectives: Single-staged tension-free re-surfacing of various sized skin defects using keystone flap and to have least donor site morbidity, primary healing and maximum functional outcome.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted, between October 2021 - January 2023 in Department of Plastic Surgery, PGIMS Rohtak, on 15 males and 1 female aged between 18 - 65 years.

Chronic occupational paronychia secondary to digital pilonidal sinus from dog grooming.

Objectives Pilonidal sinus is a recognized occupational condition sometimes seen in barbers and pet groomers, and it involves most commonly interdigital spaces. We present a previously unreported case of chronic paronychia with two separate digital pilonidal sinuses resulting from multiple embedded hair fragments in the eponychium of a dog groomer, who had been repeatedly treated with antibiotics with no success and ended up to surgical treatment. The objective of this study is to remind readers of this rare but possible occupational disease, particularly among employees working with hair, and to emphasize the importance of preventive measures to prevent its occurrence.

Pediatric endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment: lessons learned after 100 consecutive cases.

Aim: Pediatric endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (PEPSiT) has favorable short-term-outcomes, but there is a lack of reliable data on medium and long-term follow-up. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness and advantages of PEPSiT versus conventional surgery of pilonidal sinus in the pediatric population.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out in pediatric patients undergoing pilonidal sinus surgery at a single institution from 2019 to 2022.

Does the holmium laser have a place in the treatment of pilonidal cysts? (Pilolas study).

Recently, a minimally invasive procedure based on a laser technique (SiLaT) has been developed for the treatment of pilonidal cysts. Although less invasive and less painful than surgery, this solution is nevertheless limited by its high cost. Other more affordable laser devices, such as the holmium laser, are also used in minimally invasive surgery.

Distinct recurrence patterns according to disease manifestation in pilonidal sinus disease treated with cleft lift surgery at 5 years' follow-up in a large prospective Danish cohort.

Aim: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a common condition particularly affecting the young population. The disease is incompletely understood, and optimal treatment is still debated. However, off-midline closure techniques have become the standard of care in more advanced cases.

Axillary pilonidal sinus: an unusual presentation: a case report with literature review.

Despite its rarity, pilonidal sinus (PNS) in atypical locations poses significant diagnostic challenges, underscoring the need for early identification and appropriate treatment strategies. This case highlights a rare occurrence of a PNS in the axilla, emphasizing the importance of recognizing uncommon presentations of common ailments. A 27-year-old male presented with a 13-year history of painless axillary discharge, diagnosed with PNS based on clinical evaluation.

Pilonidal granuloma formation after an incision and drainage procedure is associated with retained hair within the sinus - A case series.

Introduction And Importance: Pilonidal disease may present with a draining secondary sinus or granuloma, but the development of these findings is not well-characterized.

Case Presentation: Two adolescent males presented with pilonidal disease. The first patient had a gluteal cleft abscess, and an incision and drainage procedure was performed.

Phenolization of the sinus tract in recurrent sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease: long-term results of a prospective 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.
