Abstract
When the hair punctures the skin and it is embedded in it, the sinus is formed. It is mostly found at the cleft of the buttocks. Approximately 0.7% of the population is affected by the infected pilonidal disease. The definitive treatment of this disease is surgery and there are two methods of surgery; open method and closed method. In the open method, there is excision of the tract without primary closure and secondary intention is used for healing. On the other hand, the closed method includes excision of the tract with primary closure or closure by other processes. There are different techniques that can be used to manage this disease.
