Pilonidal cyst: an operative approach.
An operative technic is presented which has been used on fifty-four patients with pilonidal cyst. This technic has resulted in primary union and complete healing within six weeks in 89 per cent of cases. The use of an incision that crosses the vertical gluteal fold at an angle and eliminates the suture line in the gluteal fold has been beneficial in all patients on whom it was used.
