Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare primary wound closure using a limberg flap with secondary (p.s.) wound healing following excision of a pilonidal sinus.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients who gave their informed consent who had excision of pilonidal sinus were randomly assigned to group A (primary wound closure with a Limberg flap) or to group B (open wound and p.s.wound healing).
