Brief Summary

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.

Study Arms (2)

Conventional care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Other: Conventional wound care

Negative pressure therapy

EXPERIMENTAL
Device: Negative pressure therapy

Interventions

The wound will be cleaned (irrigation with Physiological Serum), the cavity and the perilesional area will be dried with gauze. A skin protection spray will be applied to avoid irritation of the skin around the wound due to the adhesive of the dressing. The cavity will be filled with a sponge. When the depth of the wound is less than 1.5 cm, it will not be necessary to fill the defect. The appropriate dressing will be applied to the size of the incision, reinforcing the edges, and it will be connected to the TPN device, ensuring correct functionality.

Negative pressure therapy

The wound will be cleaned with physiological serum irrigation, the cavity will be dried with gauzes and filled with a dressing made of cellulose and silver. A skin protection spray will be applied to avoid irritation of the skin around the wound due to the adhesive of the dressing.
