Abstract:
Seventy-five consecutive patients with pilonidal sinus disease were randomized to receive either Eusol dressings or Silastic foam dressings. Patients were divided into those with pilonidal sinus and pilonidal abscess. There was no significant difference between time to hospital discharge or time to full healing in either group. The cost benefits and simplicity of Silastic foam dressing are discussed.
