Abstract

<p> Various surgical techniques have been reported for the treatment of the pilonidal sinus; however, the most effective technique remains to be elucidated. We performed an open surgery technique and compared our findings with other methods. Between 2017 and 2022, we treated 17 patients who were diagnosed with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus using an open surgery technique. The average time for wound healing was 35.4 days. Delayed wound healing was observed in one case, which was successfully treated by removing an embedded body hair in the subcutaneous tissue. No recurrence was reported after a mean follow-up of 38.0 weeks. The open technique for the pilonidal sinus has a longer healing time; however, our findings suggest that it is effective and has a low patient burden, because of the low postoperative recurrence rate and shortened hospitalization period, compared to the primary closure technique.</p>
