Overview

Bacterial ecology of pilonidal cysts Single centre retrospective exploratory study of medical data contained in the medical records of patients operated on in the centre between 01/08/2020 and 30/11/2020.

Description

From the medical records of a series of patients treated for pilonidal cysts:

  1. Describe the bacteriological analyses performed on a series of non-abscessed pilonidal cysts before laser treatment
  2. Compare the bacterial flora of cysts operated on in the first instance and those reoperated on

This is a retrospective monocentric study of medical data contained in the medical records of patients operated on for pilonidal cysts and who received the same protocol:

  • Antibiotic prophylaxis (injection of 2g of Augmentin)
  • Treatment of the cyst by laser, under general anaesthesia, after dilatation of the pilonidal sinus, evisceration and bacteriological swabbing.
  • Post-operative monitoring and local care

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient aged 18 years or older,
  • Patient who has been informed about the research;
  • Patient with a pilonidal cyst treated with Holmium Laser during a scheduled procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient under legal protection, guardianship or curatorship;
  • Patient who has indicated his opposition to the use of his data;
  • Patient undergoing emergency surgery for an abscess.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
