The Comparison of Crystallized Phenol With Lateral Flap Method in Treatment of Sinus Pilonidalis

We aimed to evaluate our experience with crystallized phenol for the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease and to compare it with Karydakis method. Patients who undergone surgery for the pilonidal sinus disease between January 2016 and September 2018 in o ur clinic have been evaluated prospectively. Patients’ data including age, sex, follow-up time, complications and recurrence rates were recorded. Patients’ mean age were 21.5±7.9 and 24.4±7.4 in phenol and karydakis groups, respectively. Sex distribution w ere 35 males to 10 females in phenol group and 107 males to 19 females in karydakis group. No recurrences were observed in phenol group, while recurrences in 8 patients were noted in karydakis group. This difference was not statistically significan t (p=0.11). Crystilized phenol technique is easy applicable and comfortable method for pilonidal sinus disease treatment. It may have less recurrence rate when compared to karydakis method, but more studies are needed to definitely establish this.
