Besides removing existing
pilonidal sinus, it eliminates some of the predisposing factors for the development of another sinuses.
The comparison of the results of different operation techniques for
pilonidal sinus disease.
Pilonidal sinus is common in younger age groups and therefore has an impact on the working members of the community.
Although many treatment modalities are described, surgery remains the mainstay of treatment and is aimed at a simplified procedure with minimal post-operative pain, minimal wound care, rapid wound healing, shorter hospital stay, early return to daily activities and low recurrence rate.11 While various different surgical techniques, ranging from Wide local excision to complex rotation flaps procedures have been developed, no single method is labeled as the ideal treatment.12 A study done on outcome of
pilonidal sinus reported wound infection rate of 38.4% after open procedure and another study reported wound complication rate of 7% with Limberg Flap Procedure.13
Pilonidal sinus is a disease where a variety of surgical procedure have been prescribed.

(1) Epidemiology: in present study,
pilonidal sinus disease is an acquired condition usually seen in young adults of 21 to 30 years of age.
Historically, surgical treatment of
pilonidal sinus began with excision and marsupialization or excision and primary closure.
