Abstract :
Pilonidal disease is a common anorectal problem that typically affects young people. Pilonidal
sinus describes a hair

filled c
avity in the subcutaneous fat of the post sacral intergluteal region
known as the natal cleft. Here we reported a new case of the pilonidal sinus, presented with boil
with slight seropurulent foul discharge from post anal region in the natal cleft. A male
patient of
21 years consulted to outpatient department, with above complaints. The most commonly used
surgical techniques for pilonidal sinus includes excision with primary closure and excision with
reconstructive flap with their own limitation(PNS).In
Ayurveda acharya
Sushruta
has considered
it under
shalyaj nadi vrana
( sinus or fistula due to foreign body).
Sushruta
mentioned the
chedana
as well as
ksharkarma
in the management of
Nadivrana
. Hence the study concluded that excision
&
ksharkarma
in pilon
idal sinus is one of the potential treatment option to avoid recurrence.
