Comparison of the two treatment modalities (crystallized phenol application vs. surgical treatment) for pilonidal sinus disease

Conditions

patients with pilonidal sinus disease

Summary

Pilonidal sinus disease is an acquired disease at the sacrococcygeal region that can be treated by a number of surgical techniques. Crystallized phenol application seems to be an alternative therapy for pilonidal sinus disease with higher success rates, lower costs, faster recovery and earlier return to work. The aim of this presentation is to compare the crystallized phenol application and surgery for pilonidal sinus disease .

Eligibility

Sex: Both males and females

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study compares two treatments for pilonidal sinus disease — a painful condition where a small tunnel or cyst forms near the tailbone, usually in young adults. One treatment is surgery to cut out the sinus, and the other is a non-surgical approach using crystallized phenol (a chemical that destroys the sinus tissue without cutting). The study looks at healing rates, recovery time, and how quickly people can return to their normal activities. You may be eligible if: - You have been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus disease - You do not currently have an acute abscess (active infection with pus) You may NOT be eligible if: - You have an acute abscess at the pilonidal site Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Patients were randomized to 2 groups according to applied treatment protocol Group 1: Crystallized phenol will be applied into pilonidal sinus tract. The amount of the crystallized phenol will differ according to the patients sinus tract. the patient will be followed for three weeks for wound healing. Closure of the sinus tract in three weeks will be accepted as cure. In case of failure in the healing of sinus tract in three weeks, the crystallized phenol application will be performed respectively. Group 2: Surgical technique either primary closure or marsupialization will be performed. primary closure for patients who does not have infection on the surgical site and marsupialization for patients who had acute infection on surgical site were the reason for surgery technique . For both techniques the duration of surgery were estimated as 1 hour. The patients follow up will continue until the full wound healing occurs.
