Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a potentially disabling chronic inflammatory disease. The intermammary location, not clearly specified in the usual phenotypic classifications, entails significant functional and cosmetic compromise. Case Presentation: Eleven cases of predominantly intermammary disease with multiple fistulization and disfiguring scarring were observed at our Department between January 2016 and March 2020. They were young (mean age = 22 years) obese or overweight women, in which the medical-surgical approach has led to variable results. Discussion/Conclusion: Intermammary HS possibly represents a unique phenotypic presentation, likely to be fistulizing and severe. We believe that anatomo-functional considerations, which can be paralleled to pilonidal sinus disease, contribute to its pathophysiology and striking appearance, and further emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary endeavor to reduce the morbidity associated with this seemingly overlooked location.

Flap Procedure

Introduction: Despite the available guidelines, opinions of many surgeons are quite ambiguous when it comes to the therapy of pilonidal sinus disease. The treatment can be a frustrating problem both for the surgeon and the patient because it is associated with wound complications and high recurrence rate. The objective of this study was to analyze the results of patients with pilonidal sinus disease undergoing the Karydakis flap procedure. Methods: A total of 27 patients treated for primary and recurrent pilonidal disease using the Karydakis flap procedure at our department between October 23, 2018 and November 22, 2019 were analyzed prospectively. We evaluated postoperative wound healing, complications and recurrence of the disease in a short-term follow-up period. Disease recurrence was defined as prolonged healing or as a new disease requiring repeated surgery. Results: In December 2019 all 27 patients came for a follow-up visit. The result was a fully lateralized wound without any signs of a new disease in all patients. In May 2020 a follow-up visit by phone was performed. The median follow-up was 12 months. The healing process was free of any serious complications in 25 patients. Seroma formation cases were managed by puncture in the outpatient setting. Conclusion: According to the available evidence and guidelines, off-midline procedures – the Karydakis flap, Bascom cleft lift, and Limberg flap procedures – are associated with lower recurrence rates and better wound healing. An important goal is to achieve complete wound lateralization and to change the configuration of the gluteal cleft by reshaping it, which results in a nicely flattened gluteal crease.

Abstract Purpose Collective evidence from single-centre studies suggests an increasing incidence of pilonidal sinus disease in the last decades, but population-based data is scarce. Methods We analysed administrative case–based principal diagnoses of pilonidal sinus disease and its surgical therapy between 2005 and 2017 in inpatients. Changes were addressed via linear regression. Results The mean rate of inpatient episodes of pilonidal sinus disease per 100,000 men increased from 43 in 2005 to 56 in 2017. In females, the mean rate of inpatient episodes per 100,000 women rose from 14 in 2005 to 18 in 2017. In the whole population, for every case per 100,000 females, there were 3.1 cases per 100,000 males, but the numbers were highly variable between the age groups. There was considerable regional variation within Germany. Rates of inpatient episodes of pilonidal sinus disease were increasing in almost all age groups and both sexes by almost a third. Surgery was dominated by excision of pilonidal sinus without reconstructive procedures, such as flaps, whose share was around 13% of all procedures, despite recommendations of the national guidelines to prefer flap procedures. Conclusion Rates of inpatient episodes of pilonidal sinus disease in Germany rose across almost all age groups and both sexes with relevant regional variation. The underlying causative factors are unknown. Thus, patient-centred research is necessary to explore them. This should also take cases into account that are solely treated office-based in order to obtain a full-spectrum view of pilonidal sinus disease incidence rates.

Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the risk factors for complications and recurrence in pilonidal sinus disease. The prospective study consisted of 144 patients with pilonidal sinus disease who were operated on at Dicle University Medical Faculty, Department of General Surgery, between February 2008 and December 2010. Patients receiving the Limberg flap totaled 106 (73.6%), while 38 (26.4%) had primary closure. Postoperative complications developed in 42 subjects (29.2%), and recurrence occurred in 19 (13.2%). The Limberg flap method was statistically considered as a risk factor for postoperative complications (P  =  0.039). Regarding recurrence, family tendency (P  =  0.011), sinus number (P  =  0.005), cavity diameter (P  =  0.002), and primary closure (P  =  0.001) were found to be risk factors. Postoperative complication rate is higher in the Limberg flap method than primary closure method. The risk of recurrence is related to family tendency, sinus number, cavity diameter and anesthesia type and is also higher in primary closure.

Risk Factors For Recurrence

BACKGROUND: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sacrococcygeal area. Pilonidal sinus recurrence is a matter of concern to both patients and healthcare providers. OBJECTIVES: Estimate the rate of PSD recurrence in our center and identify any risk factors contributing to disease recurrence. DESIGN: Retrospective. SETTING: Tertiary care center in Riyadh. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients who underwent surgery for primary or recurrent pilonidal sinus between 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2019 were included to allow for at least 1-year of follow-up at the time of data collection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Recurrence rate of PSD and risk factors for recurrence. SAMPLE SIZE AND CHARACTERISTICS: 369 patients: 329 males (89.2%) and 40 (10.8%) females. Median (interquartile range) age was 21 (18-26) years. RESULTS: Of the 369 included patients, recurrence was identified in 84 (22.8%) cases [95% confidence interval (CI) 18.6-27.4], and the mean timing of recurrence was 1.8 (1.6) years after the primary surgery. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, increased age and post-operative seroma fluid discharge were independent risk factors for recurrence. In contrast, preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and postoperative hair removal were effective in reducing recurrence. Type of surgery closure had no effect on recurrence, yet primary closure was associated with early onset of recurrence compared to secondary closure ( P =.02). CONCLUSION: Our findings on the factors associated with recurrence of PSD are consistent with many reports in the literature. Reported prevalence estimates vary widely. LIMITATION: Single center, small sample size, retrospective. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.
