Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is a disease mostly seen in young males. In its treatment there are surgical and nonsurgical options such as phenol injection. In our study; we aimed to share the results of our patients that had phenol treatment and discuss phenol treatment in company with previous literature. Eighty two patients who applied to our hospital with pilonidal disease and refused the surgical treatment between May2008- June 2010 were involved in our study. After trimming of sacrococcygeal region, 1 cc phenol was injected via sinus opening under local anesthesia. Treatment results were recorded and than evaluated. Of 82 patients that applied to our polyclinic 75 (91,4%) were male and 7 (8,6%) was female. Mean age was 25,7 (17-42. Mean follow up time was 3,4 (2-5) years. In 8 (9,7%) patient complications have occurred (abscess in 2 patient, skin necrosis in 1 patient and relapse in 5 (6,1%) patient). Cure was obtained in 74 (90,2%) patient. Phenol treatment of pilonidal sinus is easily applied, it has acceptable relapse rates, it does not need hospitalization, it could be used safely according to its more comfortable recovery period than surgery and the patient could return to normal life in a short time. Thus it could be considered as a first choice in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease. Keywords: Phenol, pilonidal disease, recurrence
