Outcomes of Karydakis, Primary Closure, and Pit Picking Methods in the Treatment of Pilonidal Sinus: A Prospective Study in Women
Sponsor: Sehit Prof. Dr. Ilhan Varank Sancaktepe Training and Research Hospital
Summary
Although there are many methods for the surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus disease, the number of studies specific to women is limited in the literature. In addition to post-treatment recurrence and complication rates in women, aesthetic results are also of great importance. This study will compare the Karydakis procedure, a flap method, and the Bascom's pit-pick procedure, a minimally invasive procedure, in terms of recurrence, complications and aesthetics, especially in female patients with three or fewer pits.
