Overview

Introduction:
The author presents current knowledge about the therapy of pilonidal disease and compares it to his own experience with a group of patients treated for this disease in the period 2007−2014.

Material and methods:
169 patients with symptoms of pilonidal disease were treated; in 72 cases, surgery was indicated because of chronic state or recurrence of the disease. In 2007−2012, radical excision of sinus with primary suture of the defect was performed in 42 cases. In the period 2012−2014, 30 patients were operated on and the defect after excision was closed by rhomboid fasciocutaneous flap.

Results:
When both methods of defect closure were compared, the second method showed significantly less surgical site infections, shorter time of drainage and hospitalization and overall healing.

Conclusion:
Closing the defect with rhomboid flap seems to be the optimal method for the surgical approach to pilonidal disease.

Key words:
pilonidal disease – fasciocutaneous rhomboid flap – Limberg flap
