Background: Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is a common condition usually affecting young-to-middle-aged men. For managing sacrococcygeal illness, variety of lateralizing surgical flap procedures based on this principle have been published, including the Karydakis flap, Limberg modified Z-plasty, and Y-V advancement flap. Aim: To compare outcome simple excision with primary closure versus rhombo...

Abstract Aims Pilonidal Sinus excision surgery is commonly accompanied by a complex healing process. This study assesses the risk factors associated with poor wound from pilonidal surgery, and which patient demographics would benefit assisted interventions, such as vacuum closure, to enhance recovery times in cost effective manner. Methods OMIS Theatre databases were used identify primary sinus...

Abstract Background Pilonidal disease is seen at sacrococcigeal region in prevalent number of cases. We present an unusual case abscess lumbar which turned out to be a pilonidal sinus. Case presentation A 18-year-old male presented the outpatient clinic with swelling area for 1 month. Physical examination revealed inflammatory infiltrate 1,5*1,5cm, fluctuation, located projection L4-L5 vertebra...

We describe a case of anaerobic streptococcal myonecrosis as a rare complication after pilonidal sinus excision with primary closure. The recognition of the disease in any patient who has early septic deterioration after a surgical procedure requires aggressive management for survival.

Two cases of recurrent perianal suppuration are described in which the underlying pathology is believed to be pilonidal sinus disease affecting the perianal skin directly. This has given rise to intersphincteric fibrosis and, in one case, a subcutaneous track almost completely encircling the anus. The pathogenesis of the condition and its possible relationship to previous surgery are discussed.

OBJECTIVE Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) effects mainly young men's social and work life with frequent recurrence rate. Reoperation for unimproved or recurrent disease is somehow troublesome. Surgeons may think that changing treatment strategy after recurrence may prevent further relapses of PSD. We analyzed patients with recurrent pilonidal sinus to determine their predisposing features for rec...

BACKGROUND The primary aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effects of laser epilation on patient satisfaction and recurrence in patients who underwent pilonidal sinus surgery. METHOD Sixty patients scheduled for pilonidal sinus surgery in our clinic between 2011 and 2012 were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled study. Patients were divided in two groups of 30 p...
