An effective minimal invasive method in pilonidal sinus surgery: Sinusotomy

Abstract

Aim: Pilonidal sinus is a common disease. Postoperative pain, limitation of movement, return to daily routine and recurrence are major problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative outcomes of patients operated with sinusotomy for pilonidal sinus disease.       

Methods: This study was performed retrospectively between 2016 and 2019 in patients treated with sinusotomy for pilonidal sinus disease. Data of 83 patients who underwent sinusotomy were reviewed with hospital records. Age, sex, symptom duration, pit count, operation time, postoperative 2nd day VAS pain score and recurrence rates were evaluated.

Results: 78 (94%) patients were male and 5 (6%) were female. The mean age was 26.6 (15-42) years and the mean symptom duration was 4.6 (1-20) months. Mean pit count was 3.2 (1-13), mean operative time was 9.1(5-21) minutes, mean VAS pain score was 0.6 (0-2) on the second day. Mean healing time was 4.01 (2-11) weeks. Recurrence was observed in 2 patients (2.4%).

Conclusion: Sinusotomy is a safe and effective minimally invasive method that may be used in pilonidal sinus surgery. However, comparative prospective studies with other techniques are needed.
