Study of Bascom Cleft Lift Surgery for Healing Complex or Recurrent Pilonidal Sinus Disease

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to improve care for patients with complex or recurrent pilonidal sinus disease by developing and implementing a best practice care pathway that includes a standardized cleft lift operation. The main question is whether this approach leads to shorter wound healing times and quicker return to normal activities compared to current standard care using traditional excision techniques. Participants are observed in two groups one receiving current standard practice care and the other following the best practice care pathway with the standardized Bascom cleft lift operation. The study does not involve experimental drug treatments but focuses on comparing surgical methods and care pathways to evaluate outcomes. During the study, participants will have follow-up visits at 1-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, and 6 months after surgery, with additional visits if needed. Researchers will assess wound healing time and the time it takes for patients to return to their normal activities. The study monitors participants closely through these visits to gather detailed information on recovery progress.
