Objective: This study evaluated the utility of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) in comparison to standard open wound care in patients operated for pilonidal sinus disease (PSD).
Method: Patients with PSD who underwent standard pilonidal sinus excision-lay open technique/surgery in the Altınbas University School of Medicine Bahcelievler Medical Park Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, between May 2015 and May 2018, were included in this study. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed.
