title: Management of the chronic perineal sinus: not a problem to sit on.
abstract: It is our belief that the majority of cases of perineal sinus are curable if certain principles of wound management are followed. The causes and management of perineal sinus are reviewed. Four cases which illustrate the difficulties of achieving healing are reported, and from these important aspects of treatment are highlighted.
