Background: Numerous surgical procedures have been described for pilonidal sinus disease, but treatment failure and disease recurrence are frequent. Conventional off-midline flap closures have relatively favorable surgical outcomes, but relatively unfavorable cosmetic outcomes.
Aim: The author reported outcomes of a new simplified off-midline technique for closure of the defect after complete excision of the sinus tracts.
Patients And Methods: Two hundred patients of both sexes were enrolled for modified D-shaped excisions were used to include all sinuses and their ramifications, with a simplified procedure to close the defect.
Results: The overall wound infection rate was 12%, (12.2% for males and 11.1% for females). Wound disruption was necessitating laying the whole wound open and management as open technique. The overall wound disruption rate was 6%, (6.1% for males and 5.5% for females) and the overall recurrence rate was 7%.
Conclusion: Our simplified off-midline closure without flap appeared to be comparable to conventional off-midline closure with flap, in terms of wound infection, wound dehiscence, and recurrence. Advantages of the simplified procedure include potentially reduced surgery complexity, reduced surgery time, and improved cosmetic outcome.

A nationwide snapshot study on outcomes one year after surgery for chronic pilonidal sinus disease.
Colorectal Dis
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Ikazia Hospital, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Aim: Managing pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) remains challenging due to high recurrence rates and morbidity associated with treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes one year after surgical treatment for chronic PSD in the Netherlands.
Method: Patients with PSD who underwent surgical treatment between March 1, 2020, and March 1, 2021, at 36 participating hospitals were included in a prospective observational cohort study.

Aim: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a common condition particularly affecting the young population. The disease is incompletely understood, and optimal treatment is still debated. However, off-midline closure techniques have become the standard of care in more advanced cases.

Article Synopsis
- Surgically treated pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) has high rates of wound complications, including surgical wound dehiscence, and this study aimed to see if negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can reduce these rates compared to conventional dressings.
- A randomized controlled trial involved 50 patients aged 12-40 undergoing PSD excision, with equal splits between NPWT and conventional dressing; however, results showed no significant difference in wound dehiscence rates or recovery times between the two groups.
- The study concluded that NPWT did not improve surgical outcomes for patients treated for PSD when compared to conventional passive dressings.
Closed-incision negative-pressure wound therapy after Bascom's cleft lift surgery for pilonidal sinus disease: A randomized study comparing healing.
Colorectal Dis
October 2024
Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of closed-incision negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) versus conventional care in promoting wound healing after Bascom's cleft lift surgery for complicated pilonidal sinus disease.
- After recruiting 118 patients, the results showed no significant difference in healing rates between the NPWT group and the control group at both the 2-week and 12-week follow-ups.
- Overall, NPWT did not improve postoperative healing compared to conventional methods, and the control group reported better self-esteem outcomes post-surgery.

Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, IRQ.
Background Despite pilonidal sinus disease being a prevalent issue, there are still many challenges and controversies regarding its management. This study aimed to evaluate the experiences and practices of surgeons in the Kurdistan region of Iraq in the management of the pilonidal sinus and determine the most preferred treatment method, recurrence rates, and other complications related to different treatment methods. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 104 surgeons in the Kurdistan region of Iraq from January to February 2024 using an online survey based on Google Forms.
