Specialized Pilonidal Care: A Minimally Invasive Alternative Introduction In March 2014, a specialized Pilonidal Care Clinic was started at Boston Children's Hospital to standardize care; evaluate predictors of pilonidal treatment success/failure; decrease morbidity; and improve outcomes, including recurrences and quality of life. Methods A staging system for pilonidal disease was developed. Patients were treated with shaving and improved hygiene until inflammation and drainage subsided, then underwent pit-picking under local anesthesia and/or laser epilation, and followed for recurrences. Results In bivariate analysis, mild disease severity, longer duration of care in Pilonidal Care Clinic, undergoing pit-picking procedure, and female gender were statistically significant predictors of treatment success. Using multivariate regression analysis, we found that laser epilation independently led to statistically significant disease resolution. To date, the provider team (physician, physician assistant, and registered nurse) have performed >400 laser procedures without a single adverse event—establishing laser epilation as a safe, easy, and effective procedure to utilize in the treatment of pilonidal disease. Analyzing the initial 58 patients who underwent pit picking, only six patients required intraoperative treatment. Of patients with complete follow-up (n = 51), 47 (92%) were symptom- and recurrence-free for an average of 5 months without requiring narcotics or experiencing postoperative morbidity. Conclusion Minimally invasive pilonidal care with pit picking and/or laser epilation is an effective, safe, and well-tolerated treatment approach offering lower recurrence rates with minimal morbidity and avoidance of major operations. |

A Case Study of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a rare, life-threatening, drug-induced disease that was first described by a Scottish dermatologist named Dr. Alan Lyell in 1958. After nearly 60 years, the mortality rate remains at approximately 30%. Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are differentiated by the percentage of skin involvement, with greater than 30% being classified as toxic epidermal necrolysis. Patients with Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis should be managed in a burn or intensive care unit. Prompt identification is crucial to the effective management and treatment of the disease. This article presents a case study of a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with toxic epidermal necrolysis with 94% skin involvement who was effectively treated and discharged without major complications or infections. |
Daily Enemas for Pediatric Bowel Management: Adherence and Problems Introduction Children born with anorectal malformations, Hirschsprung disease, spinal cord defects, and related conditions have problems with constipation and fecal incontinence. In a large pediatric healthcare center, a weeklong outpatient program is offered to families, teaching daily high-volume enema administration. The purpose of this study is to assess the rate of adherence with daily enemas for bowel management and assess problems among children with elimination abnormalities. Methods A single-cohort observational study was conducted. Subjects included children ages 3–18 years and their parents who had attended a bowel management training program from April 2012 to December 2017. Data were collected utilizing an anonymous REDCap survey. Survey questions addressed adherence with daily enemas, supports and challenges, and parent-reported satisfaction and child acceptance. Results Surveys were sent to 112 parents, and 32 parents had completed the surveys. Approximately half of the sample, with a mean age of 9.9 years (SD = 3.7), adhered to daily enemas for bowel management. Parents reported a variety of problems and barriers to adherence with daily enemas, including child resistance (31.3%), difficulty retaining enema fluid (37.5%), cramping during enema (62.5%), time constraints (40.6%), getting or replacing equipment (28.1%), and bathroom space issues (25.0%). Sixty percent of the sample reported that enema administration requires more than 1 hour. Discussion In general, parents reported child acceptance, satisfaction, and limited difficulty with enema management; however, adherence was not as desired, and the rate of reported problems was high. Insight into problems experienced by parents provides nursing opportunity for educational programs that may improve adherence. |
