Partial Closure Technique After Pilonidal Sinus Excision: A Quick Healing Technique

Pilonidal sinus can present as acute abscess or chronic discharging sinus. Many surgical treatment options are available for pilonidal sinus ranging from simple excision to various types of flaps procedures. The present study was planned to know the comparative outcome of two methods of treatment of pilonidal sinus disease; first the open group and second the partial closure group. We concluded that partial closure technique for pilonidal sinus disease has short hospital stay, produces quick wound healing, minimum complications and low recurrence rate as compared to total lay open method.
