Assessment of Gips Technique for Management of Pilonidal Disease
Background: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is currently viewed as an acquired condition that develops abscesses and typically several fistula tracts because of a continuous inflammatory response to the retention of hair follicles in the intergluteal gap. Objectives: The aim of the current work was to evaluate the outcomes of Gips technique for management of pilonidal disease (PD) using minimally invasive surgery and following the impact of this procedure on the patients. Patients and methods: This study included a total of 40 patients with pilonidal disease, attending at Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University Hospitals, Assuit. This study was conducted between February 2021 and January 2022. All patients were treated by Gips method to assess this method in controlling of pilonidal sinus. Result: The duration of surgical procedures ranged 9-17 min (11.1±2.2), duration of health facility stays ranged 6-24 days (11±6.5), post-operative complications (contamination; 2.5%, wound dehiscence 0%, bleeding and recurrence; 5%). Patients have been discharged from health facility in brief time and fast recuperation to regular everyday activities. Conclusion: It could be concluded that the Gips approach is an easy procedure for the treatment of pilonidal disease and is safe. It has a low complication and short recuperation and attractive aesthetic outcome.
