Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare wound infection rates after two surgical techniques for treating pilonidal sinus in adults.

The main question this study aims to answer is:

Is wound infection less common after primary closure than after the open technique? Researchers will compare patients who receive primary closure with patients who receive the open technique after removal of the pilonidal sinus. The study will include 68 men and women between 18 and 75 years of age. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups.

Participants will:

Undergo surgery using either primary closure or the open technique. Attend follow-up visits after surgery. Have the surgical wound examined 7 days after the procedure. Provide information about their health, medical history, and recovery. The study will record whether participants develop wound infection, including swelling, redness, or pus or clear fluid coming from the wound. The study will be conducted in the General Surgery Department at Medical Institute Haytabad Medical Complex, Peshawar.
