“…The most appropriate treatment should offer the least recurrence and postoperative complication rate with the highest patient satisfaction (13). The type of anesthesia, cost and time to return to daily life are important factors for the ideal PSD treatment (16). In a Cochrane study published in 2011 where pilonidal sinus surgery with primary intent was compared to secondary intention, secondary healing is shown to result in less recurrence than all primary repairs, with the highest recurrence being in the midline repair (primary repair).…”

Objective: This study was designed to compare the efficacy of crystallized phenol method with Limberg flap in pilonidal sinus treatment. Material and Methods:Patients with a diagnosis of pilonidal sinus disease treated with surgical excision + Limberg rhomboid flap technique and crystallized phenol method between 2010-2011 in the Şevket Yılmaz Training and Research Hospital, Department of General Surgery were evaluated retrospectively. Patients' age, sex, length of hospital stay, complications and recurrence rates were evaluated.Results: Eighty eight percent of patients were male and mean age was 26.84±6.41 in the Limberg group, and 24.72±5.00 in the crystallized phenol group. Sinus orifice locations and nature, and duration of symptoms before surgery were similar in the two groups. Length of hospital stay in the Limberg group was 1.46±0.61 days; whereas all patients in the crystallized phenol group were discharged on the same day. Infection, hematoma, wound dehiscence, and cosmetic problems were significantly higher in the Limberg group. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of recurrence and seroma formation. Conclusion:The less invasive method of crystallized phenol application may be an alternative approach to rhomboid excision and Limberg flap in patients with non-complicated pilonidal sinus disease, yielding acceptable recurrence rates.

“…The curettage of the sinus is often done in order to remove granulation tissue (24,31,32). Some authors use a clamp to evacuate the sinus contents, while others clean the sinus with a gauze sponge (11,17,20,22).…”

“…However, there isn't any information about the re-usage of fibrin glue in the patients who failed in these studies. Although similar studies were made for phenol and their success rates were found as 70%, this rate increased to 86.7% in repeating implementations (Kayaalp et al, 2010;Olmez et al, 2013). The high cost of the fibrin glue on phenol is another disadvantage.…”

Pilonidal sinus is a very common inflammatory disease of the gluteal region. The ideal method of pilonidal sinus treatment should have a low recurrence rate with minimum excision. Moreover, the treatment method should have a short hospitalization time, should let the patient return to his normal life rapidly, should cause minimum loss of labour and should result a small scar only. In the presented review, modalities in pilonidal sinus treatment in the light of current information in the literature are evaluated.
