Active clinical trials for "Pilonidal Sinus"

Infected pilonidal sinus is a common suppuration that occurs twice as often in men as in women, usually between the ages of 15 and 30. Clinical diagnosis is easy, whether the presentation is acute or chronic. Exeresis with a wound left open requiring secondary postoperative healing is the most widely practiced technique in France because its recurrence rate is the lowest, but it has the disadvantage of requiring daily or even twice-daily local nursing care, long healing, and a break in activity. In order to limit the disadvantages of the open technique, "conservative" minimally invasive techniques have also recently been developed in response to strong patient demand: such as endoscopic treatment (EPSIT = Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment, or VAAPS = Video-Assisted Ablation of Pilonidal Sinus), or the SiLaT (Sinus Laser Therapy) laser. More recently, radiofrequency has emerged as a new technique in the treatment of hemorrhoidal pathology according to the Rafaelo procedure as well as the Fistura procedure for anal fistulas. The principle of the treatment is similar to that of the laser, based on radio frequency thermocoagulation using very high frequency electromagnetic waves (4MHz), similar to the principle of microwaves. However, its use in the infected pilonidal sinus has not yet been described. The fibers used in anal fistulas are perfectly adapted to the treatment of the pilonidal sinus. In addition, and in contrast to the laser, several fiber diameters are available depending on the size of the fistula path(s). For example, the large diameters of 9 Fr seem to be more adapted to the deep and wide cavities of the pilonidal sinuses than those of the SiLaT, which has a single fiber diameter. The investigators can therefore think that this type of fibers could allow a more efficient destruction of the granulation tissues and a better docking of the cavity walls. According to published studies in the treatment of anal fistulas, the safety profile of this treatment is perfectly reassuring since the penetrance of the energy released does not exceed 3 mm in depth. The aim of this study is to propose a competing alternative to the SiLaT laser, which is radiofrequency according to the Fistura® procedure, by evaluating its safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction on a series of consecutive patients treated

Pilonidal Sinus PS is a prevalent disease in young patients. There is currently no consensus on the surgical treatment of choice. Each method is associated with different advantages and disadvantages, as well as different recurrence rates. The ideal treatment should reduce morbidity, be associated with a short hospital stay (outpatient surgery), promote rapid healing, early return to work, and have a low recurrence rate. To date, no technique meets all these criteria. However, the NPT could meet them. The use of NPT in PS could decrease healing time, achieving an early return to work. In addition, it would avoid the need for daily dressings, which would mean lower hospital costs. However, the location of the wound (sacrum) and its proximity to the anal margin mean that its use cannot be generalized. Although two retrospective series have recently reported good results with the use of NPT in PS, a prospective, randomized study is needed to compare healing time, recurrence rates, hospital costs, and assess quality of life for determine if this could be the treatment of choice. Although NPT is commonly used in clinical practice (being useful in closing complex wounds, with devitalized tissues, burns and wounds with exposed tendons), to date there is not enough evidence to support its use after flattening the PS and it is for this reason that we conducted this study. In this project there is a total absence of commercial interest in the proposal. No project related to the proposed one is currently being carried out.

In this study, we aim to compare the Karydakis flap and Burow's Triangle Advancement Flap techniques applied in the surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus in terms of complications, time to return to normal activity, and recurrence.

Sacrococcygeal local anesthesia was shown to reduce the time spent in the operating room as well as in the recovery room. In addition, decreased hospital stay and postoperative analgesic consumption. Given the effectiveness of sacrococcygeal local anesthesia in pilonidal sinus surgery, it would be valuable to study the effect of the local anesthesia with 75µg/mL of clonidine versus 150µg/mL.

Surgical treatment is still gold standard for pilonidal sinus disease. Several surgical techniques have been proposed to treat this disease in the last two decades. A new method - midline excision of pilonidal sinus and wound closure using gluteus maximus fascia plasty flap (GMFF) - was proposed recently as a new method of treatment that results in low reccurence rate and good cosmetic results. The aim of this study is to compare a new method (GMFF) with a traditional method (midline excision and primary closure) in terms of recurrence rate, complications and patient satisfaction with results.

Biomedical research consists of two main parts. In the first part, the pilonidal cyst-specific quality of life questionnaire is compiled, adapted, validated, tested for suitability in assessing patients after pilonidal cyst operations. The second part will compare two pilonidal cyst operations. A prospective, comparative, randomized clinical study will be conducted.

Surgical treatment witn lateralization of intergluteal cleft is still gold standard for pilonidal sinus disaease. But nowadays minimally invasive treatment methods such as the use of a diode laser (SiLac, Sinus Laser Closure) to obliterate the coccygeal tract are used more often. The aim of the study is to compare a new minimal invasive method (laser treatment) with traditional method ( Bascom II) in terms of recurrence rate, complications and patients satisfaction with results.

This is an observational study designed to evaluate the safety and clinical outcomes of Myriad™ in soft tissue reconstruction procedures. The study will enroll participants who are undergoing a surgical procedure, where the attending physician will use Myriad™ as part of the surgical intervention.
