Guideline

Introduction

Pilonidal disease (PD) is a benign condition affecting the natal cleft in young men and women usually between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Despite an increasing incidence, there is no widely accepted consensus that standardizes the management of this disease. This guideline may act as a resource for patients wanting to gain a comprehensive overview of treatment options. However, primarily, the goal of these guidelines is to provide an internationally collaborated set of recommendations for clinicians and healthcare professionals who treat patients with PD.
