Abstract :

Pilonidal disease is a very common anorectal problem that most often arises in the hair follicles of the natal cleft of the sacrococcygeal area. Successful management depends on adherence to well-described surgical principles based on knowledge of pathogenesis and the patient’s presentation. Considerable morbidity from prolonged wound Care can be avoided in these typically healthy patients when their disease is cured at initial presentation.
