- Primary Closure
- description
- Patients with pilonidal sinus disease treated with surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. Technique: primary closure. Technical details: An elliptical incision was made, and the excision included sinus openings at the median line and extended down to the pre-sacral fascia. One suction drain was placed in the wound cavity. Subcutaneous tissue was approximated with interrupted 2-0 absorbable suture, and skin was closed with interrupted 2-0 silk suture.

- Limberg Flap Technique
- description
- Patients with pilonidal sinus disease treated with surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. Technique: Limberg Flap Technique. Technical details: A rhomboid incision was made as to include all sinus openings, and an excision was made down to the pre-sacral fascia. A bisector drawn in the rhombohedron was extended laterally to a length similar to that of a corner of the rhombohedron. Then, the flap was prepared by removing gluteal muscle with its fascia. One suction drain was placed at the wound cavity. The base of the flap was approximated with the presacral fascia at the excised area with interrupted 2-0 absorbable sutures. Subcutaneous tissue was approximated with interrupted 2-0 absorbable sutures, and the skin was closed with interrupted 3-0 prolene suture.
