Comparison of Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment Combined With Platelet-Rich Plasma and Excision With Primary Closure in Pediatric Patients: A Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study on Short-Term Outcomes

Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

This retrospective study compares two surgical approaches for treating pilonidal sinus disease in pediatric patients: endoscopic treatment with platelet-rich plasma versus traditional excision with primary closure. The research addresses the clinical challenge of selecting optimal surgical techniques to minimize recurrence and recovery time in adolescents.

Key takeaways

  • Pilonidal sinus disease in adolescents frequently recurs and causes prolonged recovery despite multiple surgical options.
  • Endoscopic treatment with platelet-rich plasma (EPSIT + PRP) represents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional excision.
  • Excision with primary closure (EPC) remains a standard surgical approach but optimal pediatric treatment is still debated.
  • Short-term outcome comparison is essential to guide surgical decision-making in pediatric pilonidal sinus cases.
