We hypothesized that video-assisted ablation of pilonidal sinus could be an effective, minimally invasive treatment of pilonidal sinus. |
|
Recurrent chronic conditions of the natal cleft, such as pilonidal sinuses, are difficult problems to treat. |
|
Background: Surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus disease has a significant morbidity and recurrence rate. |
|
Therefore, this procedure can be considered an additional, useful tool in the treatment of pilonidal sinus. |
|
Hidradenitis and pilonidal sinus are not usually in the immediate peri-anal region but should also be considered. |
|
Acute exacerbation of the chronic infection produces a pilonidal abscess. |
|
A pilonidal sinus is a small channel that some people develop over the tail bone, caused by an ingrown hair. |
|
Pilonidal sinus is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intergluteal sulcus. |
|
Pilonidal sinus is a difficult disease to treat. |
