Abstract:
A simple technique of definitive management of acute pilonidal abscess is described. The procedure consists of incision with drainage of pus followed by controlled excision of diseased tissue and lateral sinuses, using a loop diathermy. It allows one-stage definitive management of both acute pilonidal abscess and chronic pilonidal sinuses.
