The intergluteal cleft or just gluteal cleft, also known by a number of synonyms, including natal cleft and cluneal cleft, is the groove between the buttocks that runs from just below the sacrum to the perineum, [1] so named because it forms the visible border between the external rounded protrusions of the gluteus maximus muscles.
An incision lateral to the intergluteal cleft is therefore preferred, especially given the poor healing of midline incisions in this region. Minimally invasive techniques with no wound and rapid return to full activities have been reported but await double blind randomised trials. [23] Another technique is to treat pilonidal sinus with fibrin glue.

The treatment plan of a facial cleft is planned right after diagnosis. This plan includes every operation needed in the first 18 years of the patients life to reconstruct the face fully. In this plan, a difference is made between problems that need to be solved to improve the health of the patient (coloboma) and problems that need to be solved ...
Dermatitis is a term used for different types of skin inflammation, typically characterized by itchiness, redness and a rash. [1] In cases of short duration, there may be small blisters, while in long-term cases the skin may become thickened. [1]
