| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of application of platelet-rich plasma in addition to laser pilonidoplasty for the treatment of pilonidal sinus. Twenty-five patients who were treated by laser pilonidoplasty for pilonidal sinus (group 1) and 25 patients who were treated by platelet-rich plasma in addition to laser pilonidoplasty (group 2) at this clinic were included in the study. Patients were classified according to the Irkorucu and Adana Numune's classification and treatment concept. Duration of stay of the patients in the hospital, time to start daily activities, duration of wound healing, recurrence, and complications were evaluated. Among the 50 patients included in the study, 41 (%82) were males and 9 (%18) were females. The mean age was 25.6 ± 2.4 years and 24.8 ± 3.8 years in groups 1 and 2, respectively. The locations of the pilonidal sinus were similar in the two groups. No statistically significant differences were found in the duration of hospital stay, duration of the procedure, time to return to work, and complication rates between the two groups. Nevertheless, duration of wound healing was 6.1 ± 2.3 and 4.1 ± 0.9 weeks in groups 1 and 2, respectively, and was shorter in group 2. Duration of wound healing was statistically significantly different in the two groups. We concluded in this study that application of platelet-rich plasma in addition to laser pilonidoplasty significantly shortens the time of wound healing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
