Abstract
- 1.1. A comparison of two methods of treating pilonidal abscesses and sinuses is presented from the author's personal series.
- 2.2. The patients treated in the hospital under saddle anesthesia showed considerable morbidity, as measured by the number of complications and the length of hospitalization.
- 3.3. The outpatient treatment was just as effective (based on a short follow-up) and much more satisfactory to the patients, who could continue their normal activities with little inconvenience or pain.
