Trial Identification

Brief Title: Fistulectomy vs. Modified Karydakis Procedure for Pilonidal Sinus

Official Title: Two Surgical Techniques for the Treatment of Pilinidal Sinus: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Study ID: NCT03271996

Conditions

Pilonidal Sinus

Interventions

Primary closure

Fistulectomy

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study wants to improve patient care affected by pilonidal sinus during and after surgery. Pilonidal sinus excision is a frequent procedure, despite this, there is still not an appropriate surgical technique because of a lack of quality comparative studies.

Detailed Description: This is a randomized controlled trial. The study will compare the healing of the surgical wound and the recurrence rate after excision and primary para-median closure versus narrow orifice excision (fistulectomy) Group A: excision and paramedian closure according to modified Karydakis technique Group B: removal / fistulectomy by scalpels or trephines of primary and drainage orifices, healing of the wound by secondary intention
