Pilonidal sinus means nest of hairs also called Jeep-bottom because it was very common in jeep drivers. It is an acquired condition commonly found in hairy males. Different surgical methods have been described for this disease such as excision and primary closure and excision with reconstructive flap, etc. However, the recurrence after surgery is very high. There is similarity between Pilonidal sinus and Shalyaja nadi vrana described in Sushruta Samhita. Acharya Sushruta has described minimally invasive Para surgical procedure viz. Kshara Sutra for Nadi vrana (Pilonidal sinus). This treatment not only minimizing the complications and recurrence but also enables the patient to resume work quickly with less discomfort. The patient attended Shalya tantra OPD of Rishikul campus, Uttarakhand Ayurved University, Haridwar and was treated with the Guggulu Aragvadha Kshara Sutra. The patient recovered well with complete excision of the tract within span of seven weeks. Key words: Pilonidal sinus, Nadi vrana, Guggulu Aragvadha Kshara Sutra.

Pionidal Sinus is a common chronic disorder mainly seen in the sacrococcygeal region, especially in young males. Different surgical methods have been described for this disorder. The most commonly used are excision and primary closure and excision with reconstructive flap. However the risk of recurrence or developing an infection of the wound after the operation is high. The patient requires longer hospitalization and the procedure is expensive. There is a similarity between pilonidal sinus and Shalyaja Nadi Vrana described in Susruta Samhita. Susruta has advocated a minimally invasive parasurgical treatment, viz., Kshara Sutra procedure, for Naadivrana. Hence this procedure was tried in Pilonidal Sinus. This treatment not only minimizes complication and recurrence, but also enables the patient to resume work quicker and with less discomfort.

Pilonidal sinus is considered as a simple and frequently occurring disease localized at the sacrococcygeal area. However, at the intergluteal region, it can often turn into a chronic and complicated disease. In some cases, it can fistulize up to the gluteal region and appear at the secondary orifices. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are becoming widespread in recent years due to the increased experience and development of new instruments. Limited excision of the pilonidal sinus tract can be a better treatment option compared with large excisions in terms of recovery time and patient’s comfort. This case study reports the single-phase surgical treatment of complicated and recurrent pilonidal sinus localized at the gluteal area, with minimal tissue loss and inflammation.

Background: Pilonidal sinus is a common anorectal condition affecting young adults with various etiological factors. Various surgical methods have been described, but treatment failure and recurrence are frequent, causing considerable morbidity. This study was undertaken to study the different surgical methods in treatment of pilonidal sinus.Methods: This study was done between January 2017 and June 2018. 20 cases underwent excision with open healing and 10 cases underwent excision with primary closure. The surgeries for primary closure included Limberg flap, Karydakis technique and Z plasty. Patients were analyzed with respect to post operative complications, duration of hospital stay, duration of getting back to work and duration of wound healing.Results: Spectrum of clinical presentation included pain, discharge, sinus and swelling. No recurrences were observed in the present study. Wound infection occurred in only three cases. Duration of wound healing was found to be an average of 51.6 days in Excision with open healing method and 14.2 days in excision with primary closure method. The average length of hospital stay in excision and lay open group was 4.35 days and 5.4 days in the excision and primary closure group. The average duration to return to work was 34 days in excision and lay open group, while it was 8 days in excision and primary closure group.Conclusions: Excision with primary closure is a better modality than excision with lay open technique in treatment of pilonidal sinus.

Pilonidal sinus in the intermammary region is a rare location of an inflammatory condition commonly occurring in the natal cleft. It is typically characterised by a pus and hair containing cavity in the skin lined by granulation tissue connecting the skin surface. A 22 year-old female presented with chronically discharging sinuses in the intermammary region with recurrent abscess formation for one year duration. Although a rare location, clinical diagnosis of pilonidal sinus was made. Complete excision of sinus tract with abscess cavity with primary closure was performed under general anaesthesia. Histopathological examination confirmed pilonidal sinus. On follow up, the scar was healthy with no keloid formation. Pilonidal sinus may rarely occur in intermammary region. Complete excision and primary closure is the mainstay treatment.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate excision and open granulation versus excision and primary closure as treatments for pilonidal sinus. Subjects and methods: We evaluated a group of 141 patients operated on for a pilonidal sinus between 1991 and 1995. Ninety patients were treated by excision and open granulation, 34 patients by excision and primary closure and 17 patients by incision and drainage, as a unique treatment of an infected pilonidal sinus. Results: The first group, receiving treatment of excision and open granulation, experienced the following outcomes: average length of hospital stay, four days; average healing time; 72 days; average number of post-operative ambulatory visits, 40; average off-work delay, 38 days; and average follow-up time, 43 months. There were five recurrences (6%) in this group during the follow-up period. For the second group treated by excision and primary closure, the corresponding outcome measurements were as follows: average length of hospital stay, four days; average healing time, 23 days; primary healing failure rate, 9%; average number of post-operative ambulatory visits, 6; average off-work delay, 21 days. The average follow-up time was 34 months, and two recurrences (6%) were observed during the follow-up period. In the third group, seventeen patients benefited from an incision and drainage as unique treatment. The mean follow-up was 37 months. Five recurrences (29%) were noticed, requiring a new operation in all the cases. Discussion and conclusion: This series of 141 patients is too limited to permit final conclusions to be drawn concerning significant advantages of one form of treatment compared to the other. Nevertheless, primary closure offers the advantages of quicker healing time, fewer post-operative visits and shorter time off work. When a primary closure can be carried out, it should be routinely considered for socio-economical and comfort reasons.

Many of the large number of underground works constructed or under construction in recent years are in unfavorable terrains facing unusual situations and construction conditions. This is the case of the subject under study in this paper: a tunnel excavated in evaporitic rocks that experienced significant karstification problems very quickly over time. As a result of this situation, the causes that may underlie this rapid karstification are investigated and a novel methodology is presented in civil engineering where the use of saturation indices for the different mineral specimens present has been crucial. The drainage of the rock massif of El Regajal (Madrid-Toledo, Spain, in the Madrid-Valencia high-speed train line) was studied and permitted the in-situ study of the hydrogeochemical evolution of water flow in the Miocene evaporitic materials of the Tajo Basin as a full-scale testing laboratory, that are conforms as a whole, a single aquifer. The work provides a novel methodology based on the calculation of activities through the hydrogeochemical study of water samples in different piezometers, estimating the saturation index of different saline materials and the dissolution capacity of the brine, which is surprisingly very high despite the high electrical conductivity. The circulating brine appears unsaturated with respect to thenardite, mirabilite, epsomite, glauberite, and halite. The alteration of the underground flow and the consequent renewal of the water of the aquifer by the infiltration water of rain and irrigation is the cause of the hydrogeochemical imbalance and the modification of the characteristics of the massif. These modifications include very important loss of material by dissolution, altering the resistance of the terrain and the increase of the porosity. Simultaneously, different expansive and recrystallization processes that decrease the porosity of the massif were identified in the present work. The hydrogeochemical study allows the evolution of these phenomena to be followed over time, and this, in turn, may facilitate the implementation of preventive works in civil engineering.

The main objective in dermatologic surgery is complete excision of the tumour while achieving the best possible functional and cosmetic outcome. Also we must take into account age, sex, and tumour size and site. We should also consider the patient's expectations, the preservation of the different cosmetic units, and the final cosmetic outcome. Various reconstructive methods ranging from secondary healing to free flap applications are usedfor the reconstruction of perinasal or facial defects caused by trauma or tumour surgery. Herein, we describe the nasal infraorbital island skin flap for the reconstruction in a patient with basal cell carcinoma. No complications were observed in operation field. The infraorbital island skin flap which we describe for the perinasal area reconstruction is a safe, easily performed and versatile flap. The multidimensional use of this flap together with a relatively easy reconstruction plan and surgical procedure would be effective in flap choice.

Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the risk factors for complications and recurrence in pilonidal sinus disease. The prospective study consisted of 144 patients with pilonidal sinus disease who were operated on at Dicle University Medical Faculty, Department of General Surgery, between February 2008 and December 2010. Patients receiving the Limberg flap totaled 106 (73.6%), while 38 (26.4%) had primary closure. Postoperative complications developed in 42 subjects (29.2%), and recurrence occurred in 19 (13.2%). The Limberg flap method was statistically considered as a risk factor for postoperative complications (P  =  0.039). Regarding recurrence, family tendency (P  =  0.011), sinus number (P  =  0.005), cavity diameter (P  =  0.002), and primary closure (P  =  0.001) were found to be risk factors. Postoperative complication rate is higher in the Limberg flap method than primary closure method. The risk of recurrence is related to family tendency, sinus number, cavity diameter and anesthesia type and is also higher in primary closure.
