DIFFERENT MODALITIES OF TREATMENT OF PILONIDAL SINUS

Dr. Nitin. R. Nangare, Dr. Shekhar Gouda

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: The pilonidal sinus implies a cavity or sinus containing hairs (pilus = hair, Nidus = nest). Presentations range from asymptomatic pits to painful draining lesions in the intergluteal region. Pilonidal disease has a male preponderance and usually effects patients from mid teens into early thirties. Numerous surgical techniques are employed for postnatal sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus. The exact procedure is determined by nature of the disease presentation and surgeons choice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The materials for this study was taken from the patients admitted to Krishna Hospital, from Jan 2016–dec 2018(2yr period). 28 patients with pilonidal sinus, who were admitted to Krishna Hospital during the period Jan 2016–Dec 2018 were introduced into the study. All cases were surgically managed. RESULTS: In this study 28 patients with pilonidal sinuses were operated, of which 15 were operated by excision with lay open method and 13 patients were operated with excision and primary closure. CONCLUSION: Excision with lay open method and excision with primary closure (simple closure, Z–Plasty or Limbergs flap) are both radical methods for treating pilonidal sinus. All cases where primary closure is possible should be treated with primary closure. The ideal operation should be simple, not require a prolonged hospital stay, have low recurrence, failure rate and postoperative complication.
