Background Pilonidal sinus is a common disease with high recurrence rate mostly due to residual unexcised side branches. As a result, methylene blue is injected in the sinus at the time of surgical excision. Patients and methods A total of 40 patients were recruited for the proposed techniques of complete layopen of all branches before excision and methylene blue dye injected at the start of the operation. The excised specimens were examined for the accuracy of both techniques to delineate all sinus tracts. Results Unstained side branches could be excised when using the preliminary lay-open technique. Conclusion Lay-open technique is feasible with better postoperative outcome when compared with the current methylene blue injection technique in cases of pilonidal disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
