Abstract
Interestingly, our data reveal a rate of relapsing disease higher than the one defined in previous studies both for the overall PSD and for each surgical procedure. A long-term follow-up of at least 5 years, should be considered the gold standard in pilonidal sinus surgery benchmarking. From our results, we can state that open healing and midline closure should not be considered effective for their high frequency of relapse disease and midline primary closure should be preferred.
