False Treatment Technique For Pilonidal Sinus Disease

The ideal therapy for sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease (SPD) would be a prompt cure that allowed patients to return quickly to normal activity, with minimal morbidity and a low risk of complications. We report the case operated with excision and primer suture for SPD a month ago had infected and decomposed wound. A 23-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency room with complaints of intergluteal discharge and pain that last for 10 days. Surgery which was excision and primer suture was applied him in other health center for SPD a month ago. There was infected and decomposed wound and a large cavity under sutured skin on intergluteal area. In the second operation, we excised decomposed wound including cavities and skin as modified equilateral quadrangle shape, a right flap was prepared and rotated to left side for primer suture. Patient was discharged on postoperative 3th day and drain was getting out on postoperative 5th day. Patient recovered completely without any complication on postoperative 20th day. Our case is no not only unique but also rare. However, we think that the most appropriate method for treatment of SPD should be known and applied by all surgeons in our country.
