Abstract

Pilonidal sinus disease is a common disabling condition affecting the natal clefts of the buttocks. We analyze the role of fibrin glue in the treatment of selected patients with pilonidal sinus disease. Forty patients diagnosed with pilonidal sinus disease at Vakif Gureba Training and Research Hospital were treated between December 2007 and December 2011. Recurrence was noted in four patients (10%). Ninety percent of patients had no recurrence one year later (95% confidence interval: 0.85-0.95). This procedure is suggested as a first line of treatment for patients with no prior history of infection and who have only one sinus orifice.
