Methods: The present study is part of a clinical trial study. That was performed on 40 patients who were candidates of pilonidal. After random sampling, patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups, simple or alginates groups. After using two methods, the length and depth of the wound, each week, were measured and recorded for one month. Data were analyzed using SPSS 19 software with descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The wound healing from the third week in the modified modern dressing group showed a significant growth compared to the simple group (p <0.001). Also, the severity pain reduces after the second week in the alginate group in comparison of the simple group. In assessing the average costs and the number of absences from work, the total cost spent during a month, there was a significant difference between two groups, and on average, the patients in the alginate group, returning to their work four days earlier.
