Abstract

The standard treatments of chronic pilonidal sinuses (PS) were previously wide excision with primary midline closure or open treatment by non-specialist surgeons resulting in high rates of unhealed wounds and recurrences. An evidence-based shift from the now obsolete midline procedures towards off-line procedures seems to have occurred over the past 3-4 years. We decided to analyse the present state of PS treatment in Denmark.
