Pilonidal sinus disease. A single center retrospective series analysis
Abstract
The surgical approach to chronic pilonidal disease has been significantly changed by minimally invasive and targeted procedures, with the aim to minimize costs and favoring less dressings, faster recovery, and prompt return to work or to school activity. Less invasive procedures are gaining wide acceptance as first approach. We present a single-center experience with the Gips technique, also called Israeli technique or trephine technique, and a brief review of the literature, focusing on minimally invasive procedures. KEY WORDS: Pilonidal Disease, Punch, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Trephines.
L’approccio chirurgico alla malattia pilonidale ha subito un sostanziale cambiamento in seguito all’introduzione di tecniche mininvasive, con lo scopo di minimizzare i costi e favorire un rapido recupero postoperatorio ed un precoce rientro all’attività lavorativa o scolastica. Presentiamo un’esperienza di un singolo centro ospedaliero con la tecnica di Gips, definita anche tecnica israeliana, ed una breve review della letteratura, focalizzandoci sulle procedure mininvasive.
