A1 - Bitans, Marita A1 - Baker, Anthony S. Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations, 11e AB - Pilonidal cysts and sinuses should be completely excised or exteriorized (FIGURE 1A, B). Acutely infected sinuses should be incised and drained, followed later by complete excision after the acute infection subsides. The more limited procedure of exteriorization (marsupialization) is effective when the sinus tract is well defined (FIGURE 1B). Regardless of the various surgical approaches, such lesions may recur.
