    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Procedures
    • Wound Healing
    • Proctology

    Background:

    • Pilonidal sinus disease affects numerous individuals, often requiring surgical intervention.
    • Current treatments include marsupialization and excision with semi-primary closure.
    • Optimizing surgical outcomes for pilonidal sinus remains an area of clinical interest.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate an alternative surgical technique for pilonidal sinus treatment.
    • To compare the efficacy of excision and delayed closure with established methods.
    • To assess healing time and recurrence rates associated with the novel procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 78 patients underwent an alternative drainage procedure: excision and delayed closure.
    • Outcomes were compared against marsupialization and excision with semi-primary closure.
    • Key metrics included healing duration and long-term recurrence rates.

    Main Results:

    • The excision and delayed closure technique demonstrated favorable healing times.
    • This method also exhibited low recurrence rates, comparable to other surgical options.
    • No significant complications were reported in relation to the delayed closure aspect.

    Conclusions:

    • Excision and delayed closure represent a viable and effective alternative for pilonidal sinus treatment.
    • The procedure offers comparable outcomes to existing techniques regarding healing and recurrence.
    • This approach may be beneficial for select patient populations requiring pilonidal sinus management.
