Assessment of various surgical methods in the management of Pilonidal disease

Total excision of the involved sinus tract to the post sacral fascia is the most frequently applied surgical option. The defect formed on the excised area might be primarily closed, partially closed as is the case in marsupialization, left open for secondary healing, or reconstructed by differing flap techniques. 2 The previous available data compares various surgical procedure for treatment of pilonidal disease, however, postoperative complication has been reported. In view of this present study was undertaken to compare commonly used surgical procedures in pilonidal disease and to evaluate complications following the procedure.
