Recurrent pilonidal sinus treatment is still controversial, as more and more frequently methods used determine unpleasant discomforts to the patients ("open" method) or increase recurrences rate. According to this consideration, the Authors have made a review of their cases (27 patients with recurrences), selected by standardized criteria and treated by "en bloc" excision of all pathologic tissue and following closure "per primam" of the wound, previously placing an aspirative drainage, then removed after 2 or 3 days. Ordinary use of the drainage, antibiotic prophylaxis extended to postoperative sixth or seventh day and daily careful disinfection of the wound and surrounding skin until suture removal got them excellent results.
