“…In our results, there is significant shorter healing time in closed methods than open methods. Also we discussed the technique of the surgical procedure to each patient and explained the (2005) suggested that high BMI is a significant risk factor in the development of both symptoms and complications of PSD after surgical treatment [17]. We agree with Arda's suggestion that surgical treatment of PSD in obese patients was associated with delayed healing in some surgical procedures compared with nonobese patients.…”

The role of natal cleft depth in postoperative morbidities after pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) surgery is still uncertain. To examine the correlation between natal cleft depth and postoperative morbidities after different methods of excision of PSD. We prospectively examined data of 66 operated patients with PSD at Prince Fahd Ben Sultan hospital, Tabouk, KSA. Of the studied patients, 18 were treated by simple closure (27.3 %), 13 patients by Bascom closure (19.7 %), 21 patients by the open method (31.8 %) and 14 patients by the semiopen method (21.2 %). Postoperative morbidities were recorded. The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Sixty six patients (62 males, 4 females) underwent surgery for PSD. The mean age of the studied patients was 26.7±6.9 (range 15-51). Nine patients (13.7 %) showed delayed healing with the highest incidence was among patients treated by the open method (6/21 (28.5 %)), and 5 patients (7.5 %) showed recurrence. There have been significant positive correlations between natal cleft depth and delayed healing, which was evident among patients treated by the open method (r0+0.78; p<.0001). The findings suggest that natal cleft depth is a significant factor correlated with postoperative morbidities of PSD after surgical treatment.

“…8,[20][21][22] Cubukcu et al 23 did not detect a statistical significance between BMI and PSD. Because of the deeper structure of the intergluteal cleft and the fragility with wetness as a result of oversweat, obese people are more vulnerable to PSD.…”

The aim of this study is to analyze the risk factors for complications and recurrence in pilonidal sinus disease. The prospective study consisted of 144 patients with pilonidal sinus disease who were operated on at Dicle University Medical Faculty, Department of General Surgery, between February 2008 and December 2010. Patients receiving the Limberg flap totaled 106 (73.6%), while 38 (26.4%) had primary closure. Postoperative complications developed in 42 subjects (29.2%), and recurrence occurred in 19 (13.2%). The Limberg flap method was statistically considered as a risk factor for postoperative complications (P = 0.039). Regarding recurrence, family tendency (P = 0.011), sinus number (P = 0.005), cavity diameter (P = 0.002), and primary closure (P = 0.001) were found to be risk factors. Postoperative complication rate is higher in the Limberg flap method than primary closure method. The risk of recurrence is related to family tendency, sinus number, cavity diameter and anesthesia type and is also higher in primary closure.
