    (Edizioni Luigi Pozzi, 2021) Kanlioz, Murat; Uyanikoglu, Hacer; Ekici, Ugur; Karatas, Turgay; Tatli, Faik
    Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic problem often occurs in healthy hirsute men, however, women may also be affected. A range of conservative techniques to surgical flaps have been used to treat this condition. Currently, midline primary closure (MPC) is considered the standard of therapy; however, no statistically significant difference has been noted between primary versus secondary (Karydakis flap or Limberg flap) closure. Recently, flap reconstruction methods have been applied and superiority of these methods have been shown. Treatment methods should be employed to the individual, taking into account recurrence and complication rates of the method, recovery time, patients' preference and surgeon's skill.
