[Surgical treatment of pilonidal disease. A new simplified technic]

A simplified technique for treatment of pilonidal sinus has been employed in 25 patients during the last 3 years. Initial results have been very encouraging as there have been no recurrences up to the present time. Mean duration of hospitalization was 3 days, patients can get out of bed after 24 hours, and work can be resumed after 2 weeks, complete healing requiring one month.
