Abstract
Introduction:Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a disease of natal cleft in sacrococcygeal region. The main goal of treatment is low recurrence rate, short hospital stays, early return to work and decrease post-operative work. Present study was undertaken to compare and find clinical outcome between simple closure and flap techniques. Methodology:30 patients of Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) which were fit to undergo surgery were included. 15 patients undergone simple closure and 15 undergone flap technique (Limberg). Result: Wound Infection, Post-operative discharge and Recurrence rate was found higher in group I patients (20 %, 23.33 %, 30 % and 26.66 % respectively) compared to Group II cases. Difference is statistically significant (p Value 0.03, 0.04, 0.008 and 0.02 respectively). Discussion:Recurrence of the sinus probably depend mainly on the ability of the procedure to obliterate the depth of natal cleft. In the present study we found flap procedures superior in combating the disease recurrence than excision with simple closure. Conclusion: It is recommended that Limberg flap method should be used in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease over other modalities
