Previously Operated Recurrent Pilonidal Sinus Treated With Crystallized Phenol: Twenty Years Experience
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Crystallized phenol treatment for Pilonidal Sinus. Completed, enrolled 227 participants.
Detailed Summary
Postoperative recurrent pilonidal sinus disease is troublesome and its treatment is challenge. Many treatment modalities have been advocated in the treatment of recurrent pilonidal sinus disease; however, there is still no consensus in the literature. Some minimally invasive techniques are used alone or as an adjunct to surgery. Crystallized phenol is the most popular method in the nonoperative treatment of primer pilonidal sinus disease. But its long term effect in the postoperative recurrent cases is unclear. Investigators aimed to present the long-term efficacy of crystallized phenol treatment on postoperative recurrent pilonidal sinus disease through our results collected within the last 20 years.
