Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • recurrence

    short or medium-term recurrence of sacrococcygeal disease. For this purpose, a clinical follow-up was performed in outpatient clinics where the patient was assessed and explored regularly for signs of recurrence. The number of recurrences per group and the time from surgery to recurrence were assessed

    up to 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • sick leave

    up to 1 year

Study Arms (2)

phenolization group

EXPERIMENTAL

Curettage of the sacral cyst is performed using a disposable otorhinolaryngologists curette. The perimeter of the cyst is covered with petroleum jelly to protect the skin, and an Abbocath catheter 18 G is introduced into the cystic cavity. Undiluted 88% phenol is instilled into the cavity, ensuring that the cystic cavity is filled. It is maintained for 5 min until complete coagulation of the cyst is achieved.

Drug: phenolization

conventional surgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

entire exeresis is performed by means of an electric scalpel

Procedure: Conventional surgery

Interventions

In case of phenolization group, an Abbocath catheter 18 G is introduced into the cystic cavity. Undiluted 88% phenol is instilled into the cavity, ensuring that the cystic cavity is filled. It is maintained for 5 min until complete coagulation of the cyst is achieved.
