All of these wounds healed completely between 3 and 6 weeks.Conclusion: The Gips procedure is the recommended treatment for simple pilonidal disease. Minor wound dehiscence developed in 8 patients all of which were in the Bascom flap group (40% vs. A higher rate of recurrence was observed among patients who underwent pits picking following failure of a previous wide local excision (80% vs.

Eleven patients had a previous wide local excision with recurrent disease. Twenty-eight patients (52.8%) underwent prior drainage of pilonidal abscess. In this study, 21 patients underwent the Bascom cleft lift (skin flap) procedure and 32 underwent the Gips-style operation. Male/female ratio was 36/17, with a mean age of 23.4 ± 7 years. Perioperative complications and recurrence rates were reviewed.Results: Fifty-three patients met the inclusion criteria. All procedures were performed by a single surgeon.

Inclusion criteria included either pilonidal pits excision or the Bascom cleft lift procedure. Abstract: Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the Bascom cleft lift (flap) and the pilonidal pits excision (Gips procedure).Methods: The records of all the patients who underwent pilonidal sinus excision between November 2013 and August 2017 were reviewed.
