Vacuum-assisted closure in secondary wound healing after pilonidal sinus surgery

The findings of this study emphasise that the use of vacuum-assisted closure in PSD patients treated with the lay-open technique seems notable in terms of its potential to shorten the otherwise longer secondary recovery time and thus enables the consideration of the lay-open technique once again among the most preferable methods. However, there is a need for larger scale prospective studies addressing the utility of vacuum-assisted closure in patients with PSD to validate these findings.
