1 Round Table Pilonidal Disease Pilonidal Disease: Anatomy Kelly Finkbeiner, RN, MSN, CPNP-PC/AC Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children s Hospital of Chicago Chicago, IL Disclosure Information I have nothing to disclose 1

2 Pilonidal Disease - Objectives 1. Describe the history of Pilonidal Disease 2. Review Anatomical structures 3. Discuss tips for taking a thorough history and physical Pilonidal Disease - History First described by Mayo Hodge - coined the term "pilonidal" from its Latin origins called Jeep disease b/c so many WWII soldiers were treated for this - nearly 80,000 US soldiers Fueled research and treatment techniques (return to battle fast) Etiology- initially thought to be from embryologic origin, after WWII prevailing idea was from hair penetrating skin and causing granulomatous effects in the cavity - Patey and Scarf Pilonidal Disease Epidemiology/Definition Incidence - 26 per 100,000 population Male to female ratio - 3-4:1. Patient characteristics predominantly white, late teens to early 20s - decreasing after age 25 and rarely occurs after age 45 PILONIDAL referring to presence of hair in a dermoid cyst or in deeper layers of the skin Dermoid cyst saclike growth present at birth can contain hair, teeth etc. Skin structures trapped inside same make-up as outer skin (hair, sweat glands, sebaceous glands etc) 2

3 How does it happen? 3 parts to pilonidal formation: (1)the invader, hair (2)the force, causing hair penetration (3)the vulnerability of the skin 3

4 Forms of Pilonidal Disease Pilonidal: Pits tiny openings that may or may not cause problems Sinus Cyst symptomatic vs asymptomatic Infected Cyst Recurrent Cyst Pits Pilonidal Sinus 4

7 Pilonidal Disease Preoperative Objectives Identify common risk factors associated with Pilonidal disease Describe significant findings of Preoperative History and Physical Exam Define common differential diagnoses associated with Pilonidal disease Define acute, chronic and complex stages of Pilonidal disease Discuss preoperative care of Pilonidal disease Discuss non-operative management of Pilonidal disease Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Risk Factors Common in Adolescents (puberty-40 years of age) Male to female ratio 3:1 Family history of Pilonidal disease Obesity/sedentary lifestyle Poor personal hygiene/sweating Thick, coarse hair Buttocks friction/sitting jobs Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Chief Complaint History of Presenting Illness (HPI) Duration and severity of symptoms including presence of painful mass to sacral area, fevers, redness or swelling, purulent/blood tinged drainage, sacral pits History of pilonidal disease or recurrent abscesses Previous MRSA infections Prior non-operative treatment including hair removal, skin exfoliation, sitz baths, prior use of antibiotics, wound care Past surgical history including incision and drainage, excision of pilonidal abscess/cyst, wound care, silver nitrate to granulation tissue 7

8 Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Preoperative History and Physical (H&P) Past medical history: Review of systems, birth history, medication/food allergies, current medications/vitamins, immunization status Past surgical history: Prior anesthesia/sedation (reactions), OSA/asthma, seizures, bleeding/clotting disorders, cardiac history, diabetes (may impair wound healing), other specialists involved (preoperative clearances), recent use of steroids Social history: School attendance, involvement in activities or sports, support for home wound care and follow up visits Family history: Preoperative risk factors such as obesity, clotting/bleeding disorders, HTN, sudden cardiac death, complications with anesthesia, cancers Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Physical Exam Sacral tenderness, erythema or cellulitis Fluctuant abscess or mass Location and quality of drainage Sacral dimple Sacral sinus/pit formation above natal cleft Perianal abscess or fistula Anal fissures Pilonidal Disease Preoperative Pilonidal Disease 8

9 Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Differential Diagnoses Perianal abscess or fistula Crohn s disease Skin infections Sacrococcygeal teratoma Dermoid cyst Hidradenitis suppurativa Sacral dimple Squamous cell carcinoma Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Diagnosis: Pilonidal Disease Categorization Acute: Acute formation of abscess or pilonidal cyst infection requiring incision and drainage, antibiotics for cellulitis, sitz baths, warm compresses, good hygiene, future hair removal Chronic: Asymptomatic pits or sinus formation that occurs after pilonidal cyst/abscess drainage and may cause recurrent infections. The sinus pits may heal, close on own or require surgical excision. May require local wound care such as silver nitrate application to granulation tissue or dressing changes Complex or recurrent: Surgical excision of previous wound and scar with removal of inflamed tissue. Occurs with reinfection of first abscess drainage, chronic friction or a sinus present that was not previously seen Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Operative Management PMD history and physical within 30 days of OR date Preoperative clearances Review surgical risks and benefits Incision and drainage of abscess/pilonidal cyst Pilonidal cyst excision with primary versus delayed closure, wound vac device, etc. Postoperative wound care/dressing changes, activity or return to school restrictions, follow up considerations 9

10 Non-operative Management Hair removal with chemical depilatories every 2 weeks, shaving, electrolysis, laser hair treatments Good personal hygiene, sitz baths, warm compresses Oral antibiotics for recurrent abscess or cellulitis Phenol injections or fibrin glue to fill sinus cavity and eliminate granulation tissue Abscess reoccurrence rate is ~25-50% Pilonidal Disease Preoperative Seek medical attention with erythema or pain, redness or swelling, purulent drainage to sacral area, sinus/pit formation, fevers Pilonidal Disease - Preoperative Family counseling How do you support? No imaging needed unless concern for sacral dimple or spina bifida No labs unless concern for bleeding/clotting disorders, anemia or other chronic medical conditions Explanation of diagnosis and treatment options including non-operative versus operative management, review surgical risks and benefits Wound care teaching Abscesses require drainage & antibiotics for cellulitis but chronic pilonidal disease or sinus drainage is not usually infectious!

21 Disclosure Information I have nothing to disclose. Objectives Discuss care after drainage of acute abscess or removal of pits Review recommendations after extensive intraoperative surgical excision of pilonidal disease and/or reconstruction Describe aspects of maintenance care common to all procedures Care recommended after all procedures Good, consistent hygiene must be stressed Routine hair removal Both are imperative to promote healing and prevent recurrence Dressing to allow aeration of area Only 15% of patients with Pilonidal Disease need large excision, remaining can be managed successfully with above measures 21

22 Pit Removal in Office Minor procedure performed with local anesthetic May require 1 2 sutures Possible need for packing of fistulas or opening created off midline for drainage Dressing over area Silver nitrate to hypergranulation tissue or open fistula tracts at follow-up visit Hygiene and hair removal Bascom pit-picking pictures, (2017, March 8), retrieved from Gips et al, (2008) Minimal surgery for pilonidal disease using trephines: Description of a new technique and long-term outcomes in 1358 patients, Diseases of the colon and rectum, 51,

23 Incision and Drainage of Acute Abscess If cellulitis present treat with antibiotics, including coverage of anaerobes Do not pack Sitz baths Silver nitrate if hypergranulation forms Dressing to allow aeration Hygiene and hair removal May need pit removal to prevent recurrence after edema resolves Open Procedure Excision of pits and sinus tracts with wound left open to heal by secondary intention Lower recurrence but longer healing time NPWT Wet to dry Irrigations Hygiene and hair removal May return to activity immediately in most cases open wound excision picture, (2017, March 8) retrieved from 23

24 Cleft Lift Procedure Excision with closure Incision will be off midline considered standard treatment for surgical excision with closure Discharge from hospital on day of surgery or POD #1 Cephalexin and metronidazole pre-op, then some recommend PO for 4 days post-op, not well supported that antibiotics decrease post-op infection Drain placement will be individualized to patient - vessel loop, penrose, bulb drain Early mobility, slow walking, may sit, some recommend minimally Cleft Lift Procedure - continued Remove sutures in 1 2 weeks, some surgeons remove ½ at one week then other half Closure varies: tape in X to decrease shearing, mattress sutures, glue, absorbable sutures Incision care varies by specifics but all recommend cleaning routinely Hygiene and hair removal continues long-term to prevent recurrence and infection References Bascom, J. & Bascom, T.

25 Pilonidal Disease: Long-Term Management Hajar R. Delshad, M.S., PA-C Boston, MA Disclosure Information - No financial disclosures or conflicts of interest 25

26 Objectives - Identify best practices for long-term management of pilonidal disease - Optimize open or closed wound environment for wound healing - Understand the role of hair control and hygiene in successful pilonidal care - Consider the role of long-term, permanent hair removal to prevent pilonidal disease recurrence and improve wound healing Post-Surgical Care: Primary Closure Optimize wound healing: - No sports/gym for 6 weeks - Off-loading to prevent shear injury - Monitor for wound dehiscence, infection, or recurrence Open Wounds: The Basics - SHAVING, SHAVING, SHAVING 3-5 cm margin - SOAKING, SOAKING, SOAKING daily after removing packing - Document size, depth, skin, visits - Optimize wound environment: warm, moist, minimize trauma - Manage pain prior to dressing changes compliance 26

27 Open Wound Packing - Avoid saline gauze packing (poor absorption, no antibacterial property, frequent changes, lint, abrasive) - Two dressings: - Packing: Alginate with silver, honey, etc for 24 hours+ (next slide) - Packing must be flexible, adherent, prevent wound cooling/disruption, avoid wound contamination from stool, be in intimate contact with entire surface area) - Secondary dressing: soft, woven gauze with border or cover with tape to absorb extra drainage dressing should prevent granulation tissue from touching - Dressings should never be too dry or too soaked adjust material or frequency prn Dressings Open Wounds - For very large, cavernous wounds consider NPWT - Moisture-management is key for surrounding skin (prevent rashes) - For small, contracted wounds: d/c packing and only soak - Beware of biofilm for non-healing chronic stalled wounds 27

28 Biofilm Prevention of Recurrences - Hygiene soaking - Hair control most important shaving + watch for head hair - 2 inch margins - Pit-picking procedure described by Bascom in Small incisions using a punch biopsy - Done under local - In office - Minimal recovery - Consider Laser Hair Removal Laser Hair Epilation 28

29 Midlevel Clinic - Pilonidal Clinic started March 2014 by 1 PA + 1 Pedi Surgeon - All patients enrolled in database, intake and f/u questionnaires - Streamlined patient education, revamped materials, conservative, non-operative treatment approach, easy access to clinicians - December 2014 laser hair removal initiated - As of March 2017 seen >160 new patient referrals, 450+ patient encounters, patients received laser treatments, 2 patients underwent traditional surgery Family Education Materials References Malone, et al.
