The doctor does not order preoperative imaging, but hinges diagnosis on physical exam findings. doi: 10.7759/cureus.16831. Staying adequately hydrated and cutting down on caffeine is highly recommended. In other words, approximately 2 out of 3 patients had failure within 5 years about a 12% failure rate per year. No person wants to undergo multiple surgeries that too for recurrence of the same disease. My goal is to be a dedicated adviser for you and your loved ones so you can make the best decision regarding your condition. Conclusion: Learn more about what is involved in laser treatment by watching the entire procedure. I have been taking care of patients with complex pilonidal disease since 2007. The traditional or open surgeries for such diseases are complex and have a long downtime after the procedure. Previously operated recurrent pilonidal sinus treated with crystallized phenol: Twenty-year experience in a cohort study. This is in contrast to the failure rate of the cleft lift procedure, which Dr Immerman demonstrated in his 2021 article, which was 3.4% at 3 years using the same type of statistical analysis. If there is more than one opening, each one is cleaned out. Doctors advise the patient to avoid any vigorous exercise for about two weeks after the pilonidal sinus surgery. Surgery can resolve this problem, but if the cyst comes back, it will need to be treated again. With the failure rate of open excision being 44% and pit picking 62% it is difficult to justify these operations. No patient wants to go through surgery, especially after enduring the troubles once. Methods: We studied retrospectively 86 patients who, according to our hospital patient records, underwent radial laser probe surgery between January 2017 and September 2019. Chen S, Dai G, Liu P, Zhao X, Zhang J, Yang C, Xu X, Wang L, Chen W, Wang M, Zhang D. Medicine (Baltimore). 2005 Sep;20(5):415-22. doi: 10.1007/s00384-004-0710-5. Pilonidal cystectomy -- If you keep having problems with a pilonidal cyst, it can be removed surgically. The cyst is full of dirt, dead cells, hair follicles, and pus. We do not recommend either in our clinic. Accessibility Thus the best way to get permanent relief from pilonidal sinus is to undergo laser treatment. The first procedure you get is always the best procedure to achieve cure.
