Clinical and Instrumental Parameters of Patients with Pilonidal Sinus
The aim of the study was to analyze clinical and instrumental parameters in patients with pilonidal sinus and chronic inflammation. Materials and methods. A total of 104 patients with pilonidal sinus and chronic inflammation were examined. The size of the infiltrate, fistula tracts, and tissue condition were assessed based on clinical examination and ultrasound examination. Results. The average age of patients was 33.0 ± 8.2 years. The age group of 26-35 year-olds (40.4%) prevailed, the proportion of patients over 46 years was 11.5%.
Most patients (69.2%) were male. The ratio of men to women was 2.3:1. During examination, the average length of the infiltrate was 4.1 ± 2.3 cm, width – 1.8 ± 0.8 cm. According to ultrasound examination, the average length of the infiltrate was 2.4 ± 1.9 cm, width – 1.5 ± 0.8 cm. The average length of the fistula tract reached 3.6 ± 2.1 cm, varying from 0.2 to 12 cm. Conclusion. Gender and age characteristics, as well as variability in the size of the infiltrate and fistula tract according to examination and ultrasound examination data, were established, which emphasizes the need for a comprehensive assessment and an individual approach to treatment.
