Abstract
Pilonidal sinus is a common disabling condition of young adults. Despite a number of operative and nonoperative techniques in the management of pilonidal sinus, the ideal treatment is controversial.
This study was undertaken to compare the results of 22 patients treated with excision and marsupialization and 11 patients treated with excision and primary suture in reporting postoperative complications, hospital stay, wound healing and recurrence. Treatment of pilonidal sinus with excision and primary suture was followed by a relatively high proportion of wound infection and recurrence, therefore and excision and marsupialization was observed to be more convenient for pilonidal sinus cases.
