BACKGROUND: @entity2869 ( @entity2869 ) is a benign disease caused by hair follicles in sacrococcygeal -region. Despite the use of different methods in treatment, there is no consensus reached for treatment modalities. In this study, we used a whole natal cleft excision and @entity1912 (WNCEF) method to remove the natal cleft in cases of extensive sacrococcygeal @entity2869 . METHODS: 243 @entity1 with @entity2869 were evaluated retrospectively. 47 @entity1 with extensive sacrococcygeal @entity2869 were included in the study. In these @entity1 , the natal cleft was excised by using a whole natal cleft excision and @entity1912 -(WNCEF) method which was performed by an incision to include all the natal cleft (Kite incision) and the remaining defect was closed with a single fasciocutaneous @entity1912 by sliding along the midline intergluteal sulcus. RESULTS: The mean age of @entity1 was 25.7 years (17-43). The average hospital stay of @entity1 was 2.7 days (2-4), mean operative time was 59 min (35-80), mean duration of drain removal was 2.7 days (2-4), mean postoperative follow-up was 16.4 months (3-24) and mean BMI was 26.9 (22-30). @entity1912 @entity4 occured in one @entity1 (2.1%), @entity2080 in three @entity1 (6.3%) and @entity281 requiring re-use of antibiotics were observed in two @entity1 (4.2%). @entity1912 - @entity39 and failure did not occur in our @entity1 . No recurrence was observed in any @entity1 during an average follow-up of 16 months. CONCLUSIONS: In sacrococcygeal @entity2869 treatment, removal of the natal cleft with Kite incision by WNCEF method and shifting of the midline completely are thought to be an effective method that can reduce recurrence.
