Recurrence rates of pilonidal sinus disease in the pediatric population following trephine surgery.
World Journal of Surgery 2024 March 31
BACKGROUND: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a common surgical disease. Multiple surgical methods exist in the literature, without clear consensus regarding which should be the first-line treatment. Minimally invasive methods such as the Gips procedure are gaining popularity in recent years. The aim of our study was to assess recurrence rates following the Gips procedure and to determine whether using the same surgical approach during re-operation is efficient and successful.
METHODS: This is a single-center retrospective observational study of pediatric patients that underwent Gips procedure due to PSD between the years 2012-2022.
RESULTS: 565 pediatric patients underwent an elective surgery for PSD in the study period. Recurrence rate was 8.1% (n = 46). In all the patients with recurrence, re-operation took place on average 9 months following the first surgery and using the same surgical method. Following the second surgery, only 8 patients (1%) had multiple recurrences.
CONCLUSIONS: We found a relatively low recurrence rate in the pediatric population using the Gips method, and nearly 100% success rate following the second operation. Our findings set a new benchmark for pediatric recurrence following PSD operation, with clear recommendation to use the same method of surgery upon further recurrences as well.
