BACKGROUND: A number of techniques have been described for treatment of patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. The author reports his experience in the surgical management of pilonidal sinus using radiofrequency sinus excision technique. The results are compared with those obtained after excision and marsupialization procedure.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventeen patients were operated by radiofrequency sinus excision and 18 with excision and marsupialization. An Ellman radiofrequency device was used. The two groups were matched for age, gender and presentation symptoms. The median follow-up was two years. The patient's satisfaction on the outcome of the procedure was also evaluated.
RESULTS: In the radiofrequency sinus excision group, we found on average a shorter operation time (10 vs. 36 minutes, p < 0.001), shorter hospitalization (nine vs. 30 hours, p < 0.001), significantly less postoperative pain, fewer cumulatve requests for analgesia by the patients (14 vs. 25 tablets, p < 0.001), and earlier return to work (six vs. 16 days, p < 0.001) The wounds with marsupialization did heal faster than those with sinus excision; however, the difference was not significant. At two year follow-up, one patient from each group had a recurrence.
CONCLUSION: This pilot study shows that this new technique can be performed as a day care surgery. With reduced postoperative pain and early resumption to work, patient satisfaction is better in comparison to excision and marsupialization technique.
