Does application of honey improve surgical outcome in pilonidal cyst excision with secondary intention healing? A prospective randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial.

The quantitative method of wound healing measurement was based on the reduction of wound volume, which was measured by the surgeon by pouring normal saline into the wound with the help of a 10–60 cc syringe on the follow-up visits on the days 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 and a decreasing trend in wound volume would indicate wound healing.
