About

The goal of this multicenter, prospective, observational study is to investigate factors associated with wound dehiscence following pilonidal sinus surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the proximity of the pilonidal sinus to the anal verge influence the risk of postoperative wound dehiscence? How do the morphological stage of the disease and the surgical technique used affect wound healing outcomes? Patients undergoing pilonidal sinus surgery as part of routine clinical care will be enrolled prospectively across multiple centers. Clinical, anatomical, and surgical characteristics-including anal proximity, morphological stage, and type of surgical technique-will be recorded. Participants will be followed postoperatively, and wound outcomes will be assessed to identify factors associated with wound dehiscence.

Pilonidal Sinus Surgery Patients

Description:

This cohort includes adult patients undergoing pilonidal sinus surgery as part of routine clinical care at participating centers. The study is observational in nature, and no experimental intervention is assigned. Surgical technique, anatomical characteristics including proximity to the anal verge, and morphological stage of the disease are determined by the treating surgeon according to standard practice. Patients are prospectively followed after surgery, and postoperative wound outcomes are recorded for observational analysis.

Treatment:

Other: No intervention (observational study)
