Radical surgery for pilonidal sinus

Richard M Rainsbury, John A Southam
PMCID: PMC2494132  PMID: 7114771

Abstract

Pilonidal sinus disease in 72 patients was treated by radical excision and primary wound closure and the results compared with those other currently practised techniques. A number of factors have been examined in an attempt to identify a group of patients in whom the risk of delayed healing is high.

Keywords: PILONIDAL CYST, RADICAL EXCISION
