Cerrah Yaşı ve Deneyiminin Pilonidal Sinüs Operasyon Tekniği ile İlişkisi

Objective: Most surgeons continue to use classical methods of surgical treatment despite the introduction of minimally invasive approaches. This study aimed to evaluate the association of surgeon age and experience on Pilonidal sinus (PS) treatment method. Methodology: Clinical data of patients who presented with PS and underwent surgical treatment between January 2011 and November 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Operation method was classified as classical or minimally invasive. Surgeons were divided into three age groups: 28–35 years, 36–45 years, and ≥46 years. Drain use, anesthesia type, and operation method were compared between age groups. Correlation of surgeon age and these variables was also evaluated. Results: In total, 253 patients were included for analysis (203 men and 50 women). Median age was 25 years (range, 16–64). The number of patients in the classical and minimally invasive groups was 155 and 98 patients, respectively. Use of minimally invasive surgery increased (r = 0.153) and drain use decreased (r = −0.232) as surgeon age and experience increased. Spinal anesthesia was the most frequently used anesthesia method; only 7.1% of patients underwent surgery using local anesthesia. There was no significant correlation between surgeon age and anesthesia type. Conclusion: Classical surgical treatment of PS remains more common than minimally invasive approaches in our hospital. Use of minimally invasive approaches increased in conjunction with surgeon age and experience.
