Abstract：
Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) manifests as an inflammatory skin condition typically emerging within the anal cleft. The prevalence of this disease varies in high income countries. This disease is associated with significant physical and psychosocial distress. Surgery is an option for managing PSD; yet, surgical methods vary, and a universally accepted gold standard approach is lacking, leading to current practices that are diverse and subject to ongoing debate. One such point of contention revolves around the decision to use packing or opt for a non-packing approach following surgery. Mohamedahmed et al (2021) conducted a systematic review to evaluate the comparative outcomes of packing versus non-packing of an abscess cavity following incision and drainage of cutaneous abscess on any part of the body. This commentary aims to critically appraise the methods used within the review by Mohamedahmed et al (2021) and expand upon the findings in the context of treatment and management of PSD.
摘要：
鼻窦病（PSD）表现为通常在肛门裂隙内出现的炎性皮肤状况。这种疾病的患病率在高收入国家有所不同。这种疾病与严重的身体和心理社会困扰有关。手术是管理PSD的一种选择；然而，手术方法各不相同，缺乏普遍接受的金本位制方法，导致目前的做法是多样化的，并受到持续的辩论。一个这样的争论点围绕手术后使用包装或选择非包装方法的决定。Mohamedahmed等人（2021）进行了系统评价，以评估在身体任何部位切开和引流皮肤脓肿后，脓肿腔填塞与非填塞的比较结果。本评论旨在批判性地评估Mohamedahmed等人（2021）的审查中使用的方法，并在PSD的治疗和管理背景下扩展研究结果。
