The Efficacy of Combining Platelet-rich Plasma With Crystallized Phenol in Pilonidal Sinus Disease
Sponsor: Necmi Kadıoğlu Hospital
Summary
The use of local liquid phenol for pilonidal sinus disease was first introduced by Maurica and Greenwood in 1964. Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, has been proven to be an effective sclerosing agent for treating pilonidal sinus diseas. Its antiseptic and anesthetic qualities make it suitable for application in awake patients under local anesthesia. The treatment of pilonidal sinus diseas in children with crystallized phenol was first published by Ateş et al in 2018. However, the treatment involving only crystallized phenol can require numerous sessions, potentially extending the duration of the treatment. IIn this study, the investigators, investigated whether the application of platelet-rich plasma following crystallized phenol treatment could accelerate the healing process and reach better outcomes. This study evaluates the efficacy of PRP as a treatment modality for pilonidal sinus disease in pediatric patients.

crystallized phenol + platelet rich plasma application
At our pilonidal care clinic, patients will undergo a comprehensive treatment regimen starting with manual or laser hair removal to reduce hair by over 90%. For pilonidal abscesses, we will perform incision, drainage, and antibiotic therapy. Treatments will include local anesthesia with lidocaine and epinephrine, thorough disinfection with povidone-iodine, and wound irrigation. Sinuses will be treated by removing hair and curettage, followed by protective ointment application and crystallized phenol to fill the cavity, ensuring precise dosing and safety. For enhanced healing, crystallized phenol + platelet-rich plasma application patients will receive platelet-rich plasma injections to minimize infection risk and promote tissue regeneration, all under strict sterilization to maintain cleanliness and efficacy.
