Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year recurrence rate of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) after endoscopic sinusectomy and identify risk factors for recurrence. METHODS All consecutive patients from September 2011 through December 2017 who underwent endoscopic sinusectomy at seven referral centres for pilonidal sinus treatment were retrospectively analysed from a prospectively maintained database. RESULTS Out of 290 patients (185 males versus 105 female, with a mean age of 25.5±6.9), 73 presented recurrence at 5-year follow-up with a recurrence rate of 25.2%. The number of pilonidal sinus with pits off the midline (p = 0.001) and the mean (SD) distance from the most lateral orifice to the midline (p = 0.001) were higher in the group of patients with recurrence at 5-year follow-up. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the position of the pits off the midline (p = 0.001) and the distance of the most lateral orifice from the midline (p = 0.001) were independent risk factors for recurrence at 5-year follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the distance of lateral orifice from midline predicted an 82.2% possibility of recurrence at 5-year follow-up and Youden's test identified the best cut-off as 2 cm for this variable. Out of 195 cases with the most lateral orifice less than 2 cm from the midline, 13 presented recurrence at 5-year follow-up with a recurrence rate of 6.7%. Out of 95 cases with the most lateral orifice more than 2 cm from midline, 60 showed recurrence at 5-year follow-up with a recurrence rate of 63.2%. CONCLUSIONS This data may help guide which disease characteristics predict the optimal use of an endoscopic pilonidal sinus technique.

Abstract
Pilonidal Sinus is a benign, chronic disease that affects the hair follicles of the natal cleft of the sacrococcygeal area. Its ideal treatment is controversial, especially in complex or recurrent cases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of minimally invasive endoscopic approach in this setting. We enrolled patients affected by complex or recurrent sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus from January 2015 through December 2020 who underwent Video-Assisted Ablation of Pilonidal Sinus. All patients enrolled were re-evaluated once a year with a standard physical examination. The patients included were 38. Recurrence rate at 1-, 3- and 5-years follow-ups were 28.9%, 22.2% and 38.1% respectively. Of interest, the mean (SD) distance from the most lateral orifice to the midline was higher in group of patients with recurrence and the multivariate analysis demonstrated that it was the limiting factor, which influences the recurrence rate. In complex or recurrent pilonidal sinus disease with pits off the midline the endoscopic approach should not be the first choice. This makes us think that these cases should have their own classification to be identified and guide surgeons in choosing the appropriate approach.

Abstract
AIM Previous studies have shown favourable short-term results after Bascom's pit-pick procedure for simple pilonidal sinus disease. A minimum 5-year follow-up is considered the gold standard but only a few long-term studies have previously been reported. Here, we aimed to estimate the long-term risk of treatment failure, incomplete wound healing or recurrence, postoperative complications and patient reported outcome measures such as chronic pain and satisfaction with cosmetic appearance. METHODS Medical records of patients registered in a local database after undergoing Bascom's pit-pick procedure were reviewed and follow-up data updated. The patients received an online survey including questions about demographics, lifestyle, complications, reintervention, pain, satisfaction with cosmetic appearance and supplemented with telephone interviews if no response was received. RESULTS A total of 158 patients underwent Bascom's pit-pick procedure during the period August 2007 to March 2014. Median follow-up was 7.98 (0.66, 10.96) years. Twelve patients (8%) had reintervention due to incomplete wound healing. A total of 32 patients experienced a recurrence. In competing risk analyses, the 10-year cumulative recurrence rate was 27% (95% CI: 19%-35%) of patients with complete wound healing. Treatment success was 68%. Recurrence was associated with active smoking, HR of 5.30 (95% CI: 1.42-19.86; p = 0.01), and number of primary pits ≥3, HR of 5.11 (95% CI: 1.49-17.47; p = 0.01). More than 90% had no postoperative complications or chronic pain, and more than 70% reported a high satisfaction with the cosmetic appearance. CONCLUSION Bascom's pit-pick seems to be adequate treatment for most patients with a simple pilonidal sinus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to better demonstrate the long-term outcomes and effectiveness of crystallized phenol treatment (CPT) by presenting our 20 years experience. METHODS One thousand and twenty-six patients who have primer pilonidal sinus were enrolled. The operation was applied outpatient clinic under local anesthesia. Recurrence rate, application number, healing time, and factors affecting them were analyzed. RESULTS The success rate was 84.3%. The mean number of CPT applications was 2.1 and the mean recovery time was 8.9 weeks. The rate of recurrence was higher in patients with a long disease duration prior to initiating treatment (p = .04). The rate of recurrence was higher in patients with a higher number of opening and CPT application, those with longer application time, and those with a positive family history (respectively p = .01, p = .002, p = .008). CONCLUSIONS Long-term outcomes are also very successful in the treatment of pilonidal disease with CPT. We believe that CPT should be the first choice in the treatment of pilonidal disease because it is inexpensive, can be applied as an outpatient treatment, is a noninvasive procedure, has results comparable to surgical procedures, and does not cause loss of work and strength.

Impact of geography and surgical approach on recurrence in global pilonidal sinus disease. Sci Rep 2019; 9:15111.

Abstract
Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is increasing globally. A recent meta-analysis and merged-data analysis showed that recurrence rates in PSD depend essentially on follow-up time and specific surgical procedures. However, the global distribution of surgical approaches and respective recurrence rates have never been studied in PSD. We aimed at studying the impact of geographic distribution of surgical approaches to treat PSD and subsequent geography-specific recurrence rates. We searched relevant databases as described previously. Recurrence rates were then associated with reported follow-up times and geographic origin. We simulated individual patients to enable analogy across data. Globally, recurrence rates range from 0.3% for Limberg/Dufourmentel approaches (95% CI 0.2–0.4) and flaps (95% CI 0.1–0.5) and up to 6.3% for incision (95% CI 3.2–9.3) at 12 months. Recurrence rates range from 0.3% for Karydakis/Bascom approaches (95% CI 0.0–0.8) up to 67.2% for incision (95% CI 7.5–100) in the USA, and 0.0% for primary asymmetric closure in Germany (95% CI 0.0–0.0). Our analysis shows that recurrence rates in PSD not only depend on therapeutic approaches and follow-up time but also on geography. Primary asymmetric closure and various flap techniques remain superior regardless of the geographical region. Some approaches have extraordinarily good outcomes in specific countries.

Abstract
The management of chronic pilonidal disease remains controversial, but recently, new minimal invasive approaches have been proposed. Whereas in the conventional surgical treatment an elliptical wedge of skin and subcutaneous tissue is created to remove the sinus and its lateral tracks, the basis for our new treatment is to create a minimal elliptical wedge of the subcutaneous tissue, including all the inflamed tissue and debris while leaving the overlying skin intact. The mechanism of an endoscopic approach relies on use of the endoscope without cutaneous tissue damage. Advantages include shorter operative time and time to discharge, which impact resource management in both primary and secondary care: patients undergoing endoscopic technique have a high satisfaction rate, probably due to the low level of postoperative pain and early return to work and daily activities. However, it is mandatory that further studies would analyze surgical approaches to pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) with a consistent and adequate follow-up of at least 5 years. Both sinusectomy and endoscopic approach to PSD were found to be safe and effective compared with conventional techniques. Publishedresults of studies of newer approaches have demonstrated a low short-term complication rate, comparable to conventional surgery results.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to compare the results of the patients treated with crystallized phenol treatment (CPT) or simple primary closure (SPC) for pilonidal sinus disease (PSD). For PSD treatment, both SPC and CPT have the advantages of rapid recovery, minimal pain, and short hospital stay. Even though these two techniques can be used interchangeably in uncomplicated cases, there is not enough evidence about which method is superior. A total of 102 patients who underwent CPT (n = 57) and SPC (n = 45) for uncomplicated PSD were included in the study. In all of the cases, data were recorded and compared between CPT and SPC groups, including age, gender, duration of the symptoms, hospital stay, complications, healing time, and recurrence. The mean age was 25.6 years and the male-to-female ratio was 93:9. The SPC and CPT groups were similar in terms of age, gender, duration of symptoms, complications, and healing time. The CPT group did not require hospitalization or anesthetic procedure in addition to local anesthesia, but the SPC group required a median of 1 day (range, 1–3 days) of hospitalization, and 3 patients (6.7%) needed spinal anesthesia. During a median of 27.5 months' follow-up, the recurrence rate in the CPT group (6 patients; 10.5%) was lower than in the SPC group (13 patients; 28.9%). Both hospital stay and recurrence rates were better in the CPT group. Healing time and complication rates were similar in both methods. Based on these results, we suggest that CPT should be preferred to SPC in uncomplicated cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent pilonidal disease has been reported to occur in up to 30% of patients after their initial infection. Surgical resection is often performed to prevent recurrence of disease, however, morbidity after surgical excision from incision complications and disease recurrence is common. The aim of this study was to quantify major morbidity after initial pilonidal excision. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with pilonidal disease who had initial excision procedures between 2011-2013 at hospitals reporting data to the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) were included. Predictors of the composite outcome of major surgical site complication or surgical re-excision within one year were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression models. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to examine time to surgical re-excision. RESULTS Of the 1,932 patients included, 4.7% (n = 138) had a major surgical site complication, 8.0% (n = 154) had a surgical re-excision, and 8.7% experienced either event within one year of their initial excision. The majority of re-excisions for recurrent disease occurred during the first two years after the initial excision. Risk factors associated independently with a greater risk of the composite outcome included older age (odds ratio [OR] 1.04 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.00-1.07), p = 0.03), male gender (OR 1.49 [95% CI 1.09-2.08), p = 0.01), and the presence of a complex chronic gastrointestinal condition (OR 4.33 [95% CI 1.96-9.59], p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Surgical excision of pilonidal disease is often complicated by site complications and nearly 1 of 10 patients develop recurrent disease requiring re-excision within two years after their initial excision. Future research into alternative therapies to treat pilonidal disease is warranted.

Common surgical procedures in pilonidal sinus disease: A meta-analysis, merged data analysis, and comprehensive study on recurrence. Sci Rep 2018; 8:3058. [PMID: 29449548 PMCID: PMC5814421 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-20143-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 118] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2017] [Accepted: 01/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
We systematically searched available databases. We reviewed 6,143 studies published from 1833 to 2017. Reports in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish were considered, as were publications in other languages if definitive treatment and recurrence at specific follow-up times were described in an English abstract. We assessed data in the manner of a meta-analysis of RCTs; further we assessed non-RCTs in the manner of a merged data analysis. In the RCT analysis including 11,730 patients, Limberg & Dufourmentel operations were associated with low recurrence of 0.6% (95%CI 0.3-0.9%) 12 months and 1.8% (95%CI 1.1-2.4%) respectively 24 months postoperatively. Analysing 89,583 patients from RCTs and non-RCTs, the Karydakis & Bascom approaches were associated with recurrence of only 0.2% (95%CI 0.1-0.3%) 12 months and 0.6% (95%CI 0.5-0.8%) 24 months postoperatively. Primary midline closure exhibited long-term recurrence up to 67.9% (95%CI 53.3-82.4%) 240 months post-surgery. For most procedures, only a few RCTs without long term follow up data exist, but substitute data from numerous non-RCTs are available. Recurrence in PSD is highly dependent on surgical procedure and by follow-up time; both must be considered when drawing conclusions regarding the efficacy of a procedure.

Abstract
Objectives: To estimate the rate of the Pilonidal disease (PND) recurrence and to evaluate the associated predictors of the recurrence. Methods: This is a retrospective study, conducted at King Fahd Hospital of the University in Alkhobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over a period of 10 years from January 2003 until December 2013. Results: A study of 366 with PND, 19 of those were identified as secondary cases and excluded. Most involved 347 patients were Saudi (82.1%), single (87%), and men (93.1%). The mean age of the sample was 23 ± 8 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 29.7 ± 6 Kg/m2. Overall recurrence rate after the surgical management was found in 25 patients (7.2%). By logistic regression to the recurrence group, young age group, prolong sitting and BMI may increase the likelihood of the disease recurrence. Conclusion: Pilonidal disease still has challenges in its management. Treatment should depend on the extent and severity of the disease. The recurrence rate in this study is approximately 7.2%. The most predominate factors associated with recurrence were prolong sitting job, young age group, and high BMI.

Abstract
Pilonidal cyst is a troublesome condition affecting usually young people. It significantly influences quality of life and causes low self-esteem. Despite its known pathophysiology and numerous therapeutic methods available, pilonidal cysts still constitute a significant problem in general surgery. A large number of surgical techniques indicates the lack of a single method that ensures therapeutic success, and frequent complications cause both patient’s dissatisfaction and frustration of the operator. In many cases, therapy is based on methods developed in a given healthcare center and their efficacy is usually not scientifically verified. Search for optimal strategy is also impeded by lack of an unambiguous clinical classification. In this article, we reviewed publications on various methods of managing pilonidal cyst, and we also presented surgical treatment used in our department. However, we did not manage to point out a surgical method with efficacy high enough to become standard treatment. It indicates the need for further search for new techniques that will give chances for successful treatment of pilonidal cyst.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the recurrence rate of wound rupture in primary pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) after median closure. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 583 patients from the German military cohort were interviewed. We compared the choice of surgical therapy, wound dehiscence (if present) and long-term recurrence-free survival for patients with primary open treatment, marsupialization and primary median treatment (closed vs. secondary open, respectively). Actuarial recurrence rate was determined using the Kaplan-Meier calculation with a follow-up of up to 20 years after primary PSD surgery. RESULTS Patients with excision followed by primary open wound treatment showed a significantly lower 5- than 10-year recurrence rate (8.3 vs. 11.2%) compared to the patients with primary midline closure (17.4 vs. 20.5%, p = 0.03). The 20-year recurrence rate was 28% in primary open wound treatment versus 44% in primary midline closure without wound rupture. In contrast to these findings, long-term recurrence rates following secondary open wound treatment (12.2% at 5 years vs. 17.1% at 10 years) tended to be higher (although not significantly, p = 0.57) compared to primary open treatment (8.3% at 5 years vs. 11.2% at 10 years). There was no statistical difference in long-term recurrence rates between secondary open and primary midline closure (p = 0.7). Hence, despite only a short wound closure time experienced before wound rupture, the patient does not fully benefit from an open wound treatment in terms of recurrence rate. CONCLUSION The postoperative pilonidal sinus wound rupture of primary midline closures did not significantly increase the 5- and 10-year long-term recurrence rates compared to uneventfully healing primary midline closures.

Abstract
Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) most commonly presents in young men when hair follicles enter through damaged epithelium and cause an inflammatory reaction. This results in the formation of fistular tracts. We reviewed studies based on a shared cohort of patients who presented at German military hospitals with PSD. The effect of the morphology of the sinus, perioperative protocol, and aftercare of the surgical treatment on the recurrence of PSD were evaluated. The drainage of acute abscesses before surgery, the application of methylene blue during surgery and open wound treatment were generally found to reduce the recurrence rate. A positive family history, postoperative epilation and primary suture as the healing method were found to elevate the recurrence rate. Long-term follow up of over 15 years was found to be a vital component of patient care as only 60% of the overall recurrences recorded had taken place by year 5 postoperatively.
