    AbstractThe results of a study on the use of DuoDerm Hydroactive sterile occlusive dressing on the operative wound after simple excision of pilonidal fistula are reported. Two groups of 20 patients were studied: in the first group the wound was treated with traditional medications, in the second group with DuoDerm. Comparing the results obtained from these two groups, the Authors conclude underlining the therapeutic efficacy of the dressing which stimulates granulation and accelerates re-epithelialization with complete healing in 6 weeks on average compared with the 10 needed with traditional medications.
