Recurrent pilonidal cyst and sinus; a plan of preoperative preparation, operation and postoperative care.

Evaluation ten years following radical excision and primary closure of recurrent pilonidal cysts led to the conclusion that the method of preoperative and postoperative care and the surgical technique employed gave satisfactory results. In 50 patients operated upon, the duration of symptoms varied from ten days to six years. Primary healing was achieved in all but one case in which there was slight skin overlapping. Thirty-three of the 50 patients were located for appraisal at the end of ten years. Three had had recurrences. The procedure involved eradication of acute infection preoperatively, wide, en bloc radical excision, with primary closure reattaching flaps centrally to the presacral fascia, and drainage of the depths of the wound.
