Abstract
Umbilical pilonidal disease is seen less frequently than sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease. The two most common symptoms are mild pain and bloody or purulent discharge from the umbilicus. The authors discuss the clinical features of umbilical pilonidal disease, the different methods of treatment, and their technique for sinus excision and umbilicoplasty.
