Background. Despite a variety of existing methods of surgical treatment for sacrococcygeal pilonidal cyst, a universal technique has not been developed yet, due to the large number of postoperative complications and recurrences.Objectives. To improve the treatment outcomes of patients with pilonidal cysts through developing and implementing a new method for closure of the postoperative wound defect of the sacrococcygeal region.Methods. We conducted a randomized trial, involving 60 patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal cyst. The control and main groups consisted of 30 people each. The study was carried out in the Purulent Surgery Unit of the Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1 — Research Institute, Krasnodar. The inclusion of patients in the trial was organized within 2019–2022 period. The duration of each patient’s follow-up period was equal to the hospitalization duration. The control group underwent the surgical treatment in the Moszkowicz (Moshkovich) modifi cation. The main group was treated by means of our own developed method. Postoperative wound complications were assessed according to Clavien—Dindo classifi cation. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel 2013 with the add-ins Analysis package and AtteStat for statistical data.Results. The control and main groups included 30 participants each. The gender, age and body mass index (BMI) were not defi ned as statistically signifi cant. When analyzing the primary data, the treatment median time accounted for 10.5 (9.0; 13.8) days in the control group and 7.0 (7.0; 8.0) days in the main group, a signifi cant difference according to the Mann—Whitney test (p < 0.001). The number of postoperative complications (suture failure, wound abscess, necrosis of skin fl aps) in the control group was 16 cases, and in the main group — 1 case (signifi cance of differences under the chi-squared test p < 0.001). The number of recurrences in the control group comprised 7 cases, while in the main group there was 1 case (signifi cance of differences under the chi-squared test p = 0.023).Conclusion. The application of surgical treatment for pilonidal cysts in the authors’ modifi cation made it possible to reduce the time of hospitalization, the number of such postoperative complications as suture failure, wound abscess and necrosis of skin fl aps. The number of recurrences has also decreased significantly.
РезюмеВведение. Существует достаточно широкое разнообразие способов лечения эпителиального копчикового хода, однако выбор варианта операции по-прежнему остается предметом дискуссии. Во многом это связано с неоднородностью клинического материала, разнообразием патологических процессов и их течения. Несмотря на отсутствие в большинстве случаев серьезных осложнений, эта проблема вызывает существенное ухудшение качества жизни и снижение трудоспособности пациентов наиболее активной возрастной группы. Цель исследования. Улучшение результатов лечения пациентов с эпителиальным копчиковым ходом, осложненным абсцессом, путем применения вакуумной терапии ушитой послеоперационной раны (патент РФ № 2764499 от 07.04.2021 г.). Материал и методы. В исследование вошли 59 пациентов: 19 человек основной группы, которым выполнялось оперативное лечение эпителиального копчикового хода, осложненного абсцессом, с использованием вакуумной терапии по предложенному способу. Проведен ретроспективный анализ историй болезней пациентов после хирургического лечения эпителиального копчикового хода, осложненного абсцессом, традиционным методом с ушиванием раны на проточном дренаже. Они были включены во 2-ю контрольную группу (40 пациентов). Результаты исследования. В контрольной группе гнойно-воспалительные осложнения зафиксированы у 4 (10%) больных. Из 19 пациентов основной группы, оперированных по предложенной нами методике, гнойно-септические осложнения не зафиксированы ни у одного больного. 19 пациентам основной группы выполнена 71 перевязка, 40 пациентам контрольной группы -454. Для 19 пациентов основной группы продолжительность антибактериальной терапии составила 96 дней, для 40 человек контрольной группы -306 дней. Средний койко-день у пациентов контрольной группы составил 10,63, у основной группы -7,56. Заключение. Применение предложенного способа хирургического лечения эпителиального копчикового хода, осложненного абсцессом, с использованием вакуумной терапии позволило добиться улучшения результатов лечения у пациентов основной группы.
Objectives to evaluate the effectivenes of platelet-rich plasma preparations in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases of lower extremities. Material and methods. The study involved patients hospitalized in the Research Institute S. V. Ochapovsky Regional Clinic Hospital No.1, Krasnodar, with trophic ulcers and chronic osteomyelitis. The patients received injections of platelet-rich plasma as platelet lysate and/or platelet gel. Results. The study involved 19 patients with trophic ulcers of the lower extremities with a duration of more than 2 months. Previously, the patients had underwent therapy without effect. In all cases, the patients received a complex of therapeutic measures, including debridement, dressing, conservative treatment, physiotherapy, antibiotic therapy. In the presence of large ulcers, 8 patients underwent autodermoplasty with complete engraftment. It has been noted that during platelet-rich plasma use the average healing time was 6-7 weeks. Four patients were observed with chronic osteomyelitis. During operation, the bone cavity was filled with platelet gel. The postoperative period was uneventful in all cases. The maximum observation period was 1.5 years. No recurrence of osteomyelitis was detected. Conclusion. The results of the study demonstrate the positive effects of platelet-rich plasma products use.
