@entity2869 is a common chronic disease of the sacrococcygeal region. The treatment varies according to the clinical presentation of the disease. Although many surgical methods have been suggested, an ideal method is still lacking because of high recurrence rates. The aim of this work is to assess the role of Z-plasty in promoting primary healing in @entity66 and to evaluate morbidity and recurrence. This study included 40 @entity1 (36 males and 4 females) who underwent excision of sinus and Z-plasty closure for sacrococcygeal @entity2869 . The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 12  months. There were 36 males and 4 females with a median age of 25  years. The mean hospital stay was 2  days. The mean time to return to work after discharge from the hospital was 14  days. There were no recurrences, and all @entity1 were satisfied with the cosmesis. Two @entity1 (5  %) had @entity1183 over the flap. Necrosis of flaps did not occur in any @entity1 . Only three @entity1 were noticed to have wound @entity281 (7.5  %). Five @entity1 (12.5  %) developed @entity2080 . Although requiring some technical expertise, excision of sinus and Z-plasty offer superior results with respect to recurrence in the hospital stay and cosmesis of @entity1 with @entity2869 .

A Retrospective Study of 40 Cases of XXXX with Excision of Tract and Z-plasty as Treatment of Choice for Both Primary and Recurrent Cases.
