Pilonidal disease was described in 1833. Today, pilonidal disease describes a spectrum of clinical manifestations, from asymptomatic hair-containing cysts and sinuses to large symptomatic sacrococcygeal abscesses that tend to recur.<\/p>\n
The incidence of pilonidal disease is about 26 people per 100,000 people. Pilonidal disease is 4 times more common in men than in women. It occurs predominantly in white patients, decreases after age 25, and rarely occurs after age 45. Sedentary lifestyle and obesity occurs in a significant percentage of patients with pilonidal disease.<\/p>\n
Hair penetrates the subcutaneous tissues and creates sinuses and cysts.<\/p>\n
In summary, 3 pieces are effective in this process:<\/p>\n
\n
Pilonidal disease can appear in several different disease states and may be asymptomatic, but the most common form that is observed is a painful and swollen lesion in the sacrococcygeal region about 4-5 cm posterior to the anus. Sometimes spontaneous discharge may have occurred before consulting a doctor.<\/p>\n
Patients may present with intermittent swelling and discharge, including purulent, mucous or bloody fluid from the area. Chronic pilonidal disease often presents as recurrent or persistent drainage and pain.<\/p>\n
male gender, hirsute people, Caucasian race, sedentary jobs. Family history is seen in 38% of patients with pilonidal disease. Obesity is a risk factor for recurrent diseases.<\/p>\n
Depending on the patient’s condition, surgical treatment is a suitable option for the patient. There is a possibility of recurrence after surgery. It is better to use the hair laser to remove the hair in that area after the surgery and complete recovery of the skin.<\/p>\n
Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. The duration of the operation is about one hour.<\/p>\n
I perform the pilonidal surgery with a surgical incision by laser, which makes the bleeding during the operation very little and the pain and bleeding after the operation is very little compared to the operation with a surgical blade.<\/p>\n
The recovery period in this type of operation is much less than the operation with a blade.<\/span><\/p>\n Regarding pre- and post-operative care, refer to the section (pre- and post-operative care)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pilonidal disease was described in 1833.
