Minimally Invasive hook circulators in Pilonidal Sinus Surgery and Postoperative Pain Outcomes

Introduction: In the subsequent sections of this article, we will delve into the specific methodologies employed in video-assisted pilonidal sinus surgery with minimally invasive hook circulators, review existing literature on postoperative pain outcomes, and discuss the implications of these findings for the future of pilonidal sinus disease management.Material and Methods: Postoperative pain was assessed using a validated pain scale, such as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) or Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Pain scores were recorded at predefined intervals post-surgery, including immediately upon awakening, at discharge, and during follow-up visits on days ۱, ۳, ۷, and ۱۴.Results: Postoperative pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at various time points: immediately upon awakening, at discharge, and during follow-up visits on days ۱, ۳, ۷, and ۱۴. The pain scores were consistently low across all time points, indicating minimal postoperative pain. This trend suggests effective pain management associated with the use of minimally invasive hook circulators.Conclusion: the study's results support the favorable impact of minimally invasive hook circulators on postoperative pain outcomes in pilonidal sinus surgery. The reduced pain scores, minimal analgesic requirements, and improved recovery trajectories underscore the potential benefits of incorporating these techniques into clinical practice.
