Evaluation of phenol treatment for pilonidal sinus in adolescents
Our findings support that phenol treatment is a safe and effective minimally invasive approach for managing pilonidal sinus, demonstrating success rates comparable to conventional surgical methods. Furthermore, phenol procedure offers notable advantages, including preservation of tissue integrity, ease of implementation, and reduced recovery times, rendering it particularly advantageous for adolescent patients.
