ABSTRACT

Intergluteal pilonidal disease or pilonidal fistula is a condition presenting along the cleft between the buttocks, which runs from the bone at the bottom of the spine (sacrum) to the anus. This condition involves the hair follicles of the presacral region, which penetrates into the subcutaneous tissue and forms a cyst around. It is presented as one or more pits or depressions of small diameter emerging punctuate by hairs. As part of medical treatment local measures, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment, which may be open and closed resection techniques, are described. We present a case of a 16- year- old female teenager, diagnosed a year and half ago, with a pilonidal fistula that required surgical treatment in 3 occasions, with local measures and vitamin therapy; dehiscence of the surgical site, poor tissue granulation and poor healing. It was applied platelet lysate throughout the area of the fistula at 1 mL alternate days, for two weeks, infiltration was continued for 4 weeks obtaining the total closure of the same. Therefore the use of platelet lysate promotes granulation tissue and scarring in pilonidal fistula.
