Pilonidal sinus disease: a review. Part two

Abstract: Part two of this paper outlines a qualitative study, in which a Heideggarian hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to answer the question, 'What is it like to live with chronic pilonidal disease?' A review of the condition and the background to this study, including the rationale for the research approach, are presented in part one of this article.

“…This is just a start on the journey to provide informed and successful care for this perplexing wound population. It is hoped that this will build on work by Bradley (55), who studied the phenomenology of the lived experience of having a PSW, and whose thesis work has been published posthumously (56,57). Currently, the Delphi author is working with physicians and nurses who have a similar interest in determining what interventions can improve the outcomes for the PSW population.…”

“…Insufficiently This study does not attempt null hypothesis significance testing using quantitative data, and is reasonably large by qualitative research standards [27], the largest yet conducted in people with pilonidal sinus [7,19]. The sample is satisfactory for the application of existing theory to empirical data [33].…”

“…The proliferation of small, single-centre studies, using different classification systems and outcome assessments, means that there is no clear consensus on what constitutes optimal treatment-one that most general surgeons could perform, which results in rapid healing and minimal complications [5,6]. If surgical treatments are perceived as ineffective, individuals with simple sinuses may be asked to wait for their condition to deteriorate or offered medical management, before surgical intervention [7][8][9][10]. On emergency presentation, a pilonidal abscess requires hospitalization for its incision and drainage, following which one in five individuals re-present with recurrent symptoms [11].…”

“…In recent years there has been a strong effort towards the introduction of minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of pilonidal sinus . Conservative methods used in the past include thermal destruction, local radiation, phenol injection and cryosurgery . These techniques are no longer recommended due to high complication rates.…”
