Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on Healing Time in Patients Following Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

Study Description

Brief Summary: Our study was planned as a prospective controlled randomized study. The study was started after the ethics committee approval received from Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital. (23.08.2021 118/01). Two groups of patients were planned in parallel. In the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease, in patients operated on with the fistulotomy and curettage technique, one group was followed up with classical dressing, while the other group was followed up with PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) and classical dressing. Wound infection, hematoma, length of hospital stay, recurrence, pain in the first postoperative week, and time to complete epithelialization of the wound (in days) were evaluated between the two groups.

Detailed Description: Our study was planned as a prospective controlled randomized study. The study was started after the ethics committee approval received from Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital. (23.08.2021 118/01). Two groups of patients were planned in parallel. In the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease, in patients operated on with the fistulotomy and curettage technique, one group was followed up with classical dressing, while the other group was followed up with PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) and classical dressing. Wound infection, hematoma, length of hospital stay, recurrence, pain in the first postoperative week, and time to complete epithelialization of the wound (in days) were evaluated between the two groups. A total of 140 patients, male and female, diagnosed with pilonidal sinus disease in our hospital between November 2021 and November 2022 were included in the study. Patients with acute pilonidal sinus abscess were excluded from the study, but chronic PS(pilonidal sinus) patients who had previously undergone abscess drainage were included in the study. Patients under 18 years of age, relapsed patients, anemic patients (Hg \< 10 mg/dl), thrombocytopenic patients (Plt˂10⁶/ml), patients with a history of radiotherapy-chemotherapy, patients with diabetes and patients using steroids were excluded from the study. Randomization was performed using the PASS computer program, and according to this randomization, fistulotomy and curettage technique (n=70) was applied to one group and fistulotomy and curettage + PRP (n=70) was applied to the other group. Demographic information, family history, smoking, presence of abscess drainage, post-drainage antibiotic use, comorbidities, BMI, symptom duration, phenol application, laser epilation, number of sinus pits, presence of secondary orifice, basal PLT(platelet) count, size of the defect after sinus excision, wound infection, hematoma, length of hospital stay, presence of recurrence, pain in the first postoperative week, and time to complete epithelialization were evaluated.
