How surgical approach and anatomy affect wound opening after pilonidal sinus surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter prospective observational study will enroll adults undergoing planned pilonidal sinus surgery and record clinical, anatomical, and surgical details. Key data include distance from the pilonidal sinus to the anal verge, morphological disease stage, and the specific closure or excision technique used. Participants will be followed after surgery and wounds will be assessed for dehiscence and healing outcomes. Analyses will identify factors associated with wound reopening to help guide surgical choices.
