Abstract
Twenty-seven patients with chronic pilonidal sinus were treated by a new adopted technique. It was found to be simple, time-saving and to minimize the postoperative morbidity and hospital stay. Results of this new technique were compared with those of other excisional methods in the literature and were found to be superior to them with a shorter hospital stay. The new technique also preserves the internatal cleft, which is valuable in restoring the normal configuration of the breech. Six-year follow-up revealed no recurrence.Keywords

- Pilonidal Disease**Barbers’ pilonidal sinus3 occurs on the hand. Application of the word "pilonidal," therefore, which means only "hair nest" (pilus+nidus), is not limited to a condition of the coccygeal region. The term "pilonidal disease," nevertheless, usually denotes a pathologic condition in the region of the coccyx and in that sense we have used it in this article.—The Authors.Surgical Clinics of North America, 1952
