NCT05715983

Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reccurance rate

    clinical picture of pilonidal sinus and/or appearance of new openings in the intergluteal cleft and/or chronic unhealing wound and/or residual cavity in the wound area as confirmed by the soft tissue ultrasound)

    starting from 6 months after surgery and up to 3 years after surgery]

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Operative time

    1 day

  • Bloodloss

    1 day

  • Postoperative pain intensity

    On 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th postoperative day]

  • Postoperative pain intensity - late postoperative period

    On 10th, 14th, 21st, 30 day after surgery]

  • Surgical site infection rate

    Frame: 3 month after surgery

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Bascom II procedure

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Pilonidal sinus is excised, subcutaneous fat and skin are closed in the lateralization with interrupted suture.

Procedure: Bascom II procedure

Sinus Laser Closer (SiLaC)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Pilonidal sinus is locally excised by dermopunch or scalpel, curettage of the sinus tract with laser destruction

Procedure: SiLaC

Interventions

Buttocks are strapped apart with wide adhesive tape. The area is prepared using antiseptic solution twice. Solution of brilliant green with 3% hydrogen peroxide was injected in all orifices to visualize all tracts and sinuses. The proposal area of incision is marked nearby sinus tract openings and the skin with lateralization on one side of the cleft. A vertical-orientated incision of the skin and subcutaneous fat around the primary and secondary orifices is made using a scalpel or a monopolar electrocautery. The sinus tract is excised in en-block till unchanged subcutaneous tissue. The wound is irrigated with antiseptic solution. If postoperative wound is larger than 5 cm then a silicone draining tube is placed through the contraperature in the upper corner. The wound is closed by interrupted sutures Vicryl/Polysorb 2/0 3/0 layer by layer. Aseptic dressing is applied to the closed wound.

Bascom II procedure
SiLaCPROCEDURE

Buttocks are strapped apart with wide adhesive tape. The area is prepared using antiseptic solution twice. Solution of brilliant green with 3% hydrogen peroxide is injected in all orifices to visualize all tracts and sinuses. All visible orifices are excised with a scalpel or dermo punch. After that hairs are removed from the sinus by Volkmann curette. A metallic stylet is used to determine the length and direction of the different tracts. Then laser destruction of the sinus is performed with FiberLase VT laser, wavelength 1460 or 1520 nm, the laser energy 10-12 Watts. The fiber delivers energy homogeneously in a continuous way. Hemostasis by electrocautery. The wound is washed with povidone-iodine solution. Aseptic dressing is applied.
