Pilonidal Cyst Case Presentation: Update Course 2015
After 2-3 recurrences of pilonidal cyst, definitive surgery is indicated rather than repeat I&D.
opinion0:30 ↗
The Bascom technique involves excising 1-millimeter pits at skin level under local anesthesia, allowing secondary healing, with 70% not recurring by their data (though no control group exists).
clinical0:54 ↗
For large draining sinuses or recurrence after pit excision, formal OR excision of the entire affected area with off-midline layered closure and drain placement is performed.
clinical1:28 ↗
Physical exam findings including deep gluteal fold and heavy hair burden are high-risk factors for pilonidal disease recurrence.
clinical2:25 ↗
For severely infected pilonidal disease, open excision with wet-to-dry dressing changes or wound VAC is an option.
clinical2:50 ↗
The Karydakis flap is superior to excision only and comparable to the modified Limberg flap for pilonidal disease.

The modified elliptical rotation flap has short-term results comparable to Limberg and Karydakis flaps, though less data exists.

Post-operative management with prone positioning until wound healing is critical for preventing recurrence; pilonidal disease is fundamentally a wound healing problem.
opinion3:43 ↗
Plastic surgery consultation for flap reconstruction with strict prone post-operative positioning is used for multiply recurrent pilonidal disease.
clinical3:54 ↗
One patient reported laser hair removal as the most painful procedure they had experienced, completing only half a session and refusing further treatment.
clinical4:28 ↗
Laser hair removal for pilonidal disease is expensive and insurance reimbursement has not been successful.

This is a prospective observational study conducted in the United States that evaluated quality of life in patients with pilonidal cysts before and after minimally invasive surgery.
Host summaryCecilia Gigena summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
The study included 101 patients with pilonidal cysts who underwent minimally invasive surgery.
Host summaryCecilia Gigena summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
Before surgery, daily activities were affected in 66% of patients, sports capacity in 57%, school attendance in 45%, and social activities in 22%.
Host summaryCecilia Gigena summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
After surgery, daily activities were affected in only 7% of patients, sports in 8%, school attendance in 2%, and social activities in 4%.

Minimally invasive surgery for pilonidal cysts appears to be highly beneficial for patient quality of life.
