Core Tip	This study demonstrates that lay open with curettage under local anesthesia is a simple procedure to treat simple and complicated pilonidal disease. It is quite effective with high cure rate and can be done as an outpatient procedure. Apart from this, this procedure has distinct advantages- can be learnt easily, less time to operate, almost pain free, back to work faster, minimum incision, simple dressings after operation, small scar, minimal change in body shape, economically better and easy to repeat after a recurrence. This procedure can potentially become the frontline operation for all types of pilonidal disease.
