Video Assisted Ablation of Pilonidal Sinus

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Pilonidal Sinus

• Registration Number: NCT01963273
• Lead Sponsor: Federico II University

Brief Summary

The investigators supposed that the complete video assisted ablation of pilonidal sinus (VAAPS) could be an effective minimally invasive treatment of pilonidal sinus.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Infection	1 month	Wound infection was defined as redness and/or oedema of the skin and/or discharge

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Recurrence	1 year	Recurrence can be divided into two groups: early and late. Early recurrence is usually due to failure to identify one or more sinuses. Late recurrence is usually due to secondary infection caused by residual hair or debris that was not removed at operation, inadequate wound care or insufficient attention to depilation
