treatment based on the complete removal of the sinus cavity with a minimal surgical wound …

Background We hypothesized that video-assisted ablation of pilonidal sinus could be an
effective, minimally invasive treatment of pilonidal sinus. This new, minimally invasive …

The management of chronic pilonidal disease remains controversial, but recently, new
minimal invasive approaches have been proposed. Whereas in the conventional surgical …

Introduction Endoscopic treatment for pilonidal disease was initially described by Meinero in
2013. This minimally invasive technique has both technical and aesthetic advantages. The …

Since its first description in 1883, different treatments for pilonidal sinus disease have been
proposed, but we are still far from the identification of an ideal approach. The objective of …

Pilonidal sinus disease is chronic acquired condition leading to significant morbidity and
