Pilonidal sinus: a 5-year appraisal of the Millar-Lord treatment.

One hundred and two patients with a pilonidal sinus treated by minor excision had a life-table of 5-year freedom from recurrence of 89% provided that they attended a dressing clinic until the wound healed. With failure to attend the clinic, the recurrence freedom fell to 57% (P less than 0.004). Age, sex, acute abscess, previous excision, presence of hairs and the number of midline pits and lateral abscesses did not significantly influence the result. The method supersedes more extensive procedures, but should be tested against even less traumatic techniques.

Organization of clinical trial on national scale: management of early cancer of the breast.

From a study of the organization of a national clinical trial on the management of early cancer of the breast in women there appear to be overwhelming advantages in studying large numbers of patients. To this end centres abroad have been encouraged to join. All the evidence at present suggests that it is feasible to organize a study on this scale, that the documentation and follow-up are accurate, and that the enthusiasm of the participants can be successfully fostered and maintained.
