| Popis: | Pilonidal sinus is an annoying chronic benign disease causing disability in young adults, mainly affecting the intergluteal furrow. Treatment of this condition remains controversial and is represented by a myriad of techniques available. Most of the techniques are judged against open excision and secondary healing in terms of minimizing disease recurrence and patient discomfort. More recently superiority of flap reconstruction to non-flap techniques is accepted. An ideal operation should be simple, associated with minimal pain and wound care after surgery, minimize hospital stay and have a low recurrence rate. We hereby present a new type of rhomboid flap technique for an extensive pilonidal sinus disease. This technique has given good results in our hands considering the aforementioned factors of an ideal operation. The following case report is of our first stint with the procedure. |
