Chronic pilonidal disease is a common problem with no ideal treatment. This is a prospective study that will evaluate the results of surgical pore excision, curettage, and injection of a regenerative tissue matrix, Cymetra, on patients with chronic pilonidal disease.
In addition, the study will evaluate the credibility and reproducibility of results within other surgeons trained to perform the procedure. Data collection will focus on post-operative wound failure, infection ratwes, analgesic requirements, time lost from work or school, wound care requirements, and 6 month recurrence rates. These outcomes will be compared to outcomes using conventional pilonidal surgical intervention using published data.
