Background: This study deal with the Excision without primary closure treatment of Pilonidal Sinus and it's gender incidence. It might play an important role during treatment of Pilonidal sinus. Methods: This study was done in the Department of Surgery, Government medical college Ambikapur and Mahamaya Hospital Ambikapur, C.G. India. This study was done on 25 Pilonidal sinus patients and entire patient underwent Excision without primary closure procedure under the general or spinal anaesthesia and antibiotic were administered intravenously. The data was displayed in tabulated form. In this study primary pilonidal sinus disease i.e. 12 patients cure between 15-21 days followed by of 06 patients 07-14 days, 05 patients 22-28 days and 02 patients cure between 29-35 days. There were no Recurrent Pilonidal sinus patients studied and 1 patient have a post-operative complication respectively. Conclusion: The present study revealed that Excision without primary closure Treatment of Pilonidal Sinus is a simple procedure having minimum recurrence rate, short healing time, short or no hospital stay and rate of complication is low. Hence, this studies useful for Clinicians, Surgeon for proper clinical diagnosis and treatment of disease.

“…However, it has also been described in the axilla, suprapubic area, periumblical zone and between the fingers of the hand in the barbers. [1][2] It usually presents as a cyst, abscess, or one or more sinus tracts with or without discharge in the upper part of the natal cleft. Hair tufts within the sinus, seen in about 60% of the cases, are now considered important secondary outcome in the evolution of the sinus.…”

Background: Pilonidal sinus is a relatively common condition affecting men twice as often as women. The estimated incidence is 26 per 100,000 people. The management of pilonidal sinus disease remains controversial, and gold standard treatment modality has yet to be established. Limberg procedure is a safe and reliable technique in the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease, with low complication and recurrence rates if performed according to appropriate surgical principles. Methods: This is a Prospective study on 52 patients between Jan 2012 to Dec 2015 at Plastic surgery Department at a tertiary care hospital. Patients having primary or recurrent pilonidal sinus disease underwent this operation. Results: Fifty Two patients had this surgery. Among them, 38 (73%) were males and 14 (27%) were female. The mean age was 31, (Range: 17-45 years). 14 (26.9%) presented with recurrent sinus and 5 of them had previous surgery on more than one occasions. One hundred and seven patients (97.27%) had full primary healing without any complication. Two (4%) patient had minimal epidermolysis of flap corners. One (1.92%) had slight gaping of wound edges. However all three healed completely with conservative treatment. The mean length of hospital stay was 2.45 (Range: 1-5days) and most patients returned to work within 3 weeks. Conclusion: Limberg flap is very effective for pilonidal disease with low complicaion rates, short hospitalisation, low recurrence rates, earlier healing and shorter time off-work. The surgery can be easily mastered. We recommend Limberg flap as prefered surgery for cases of Pilionidal sinus.
