Pediatric pilonidal sinus disease: Recurrence rates of different age groups compared to adults
Pediatric pilonidal sinus disease seems to follow a different course in terms of recurrence rate compared to adults with a substantially increased probability of developing recurrent pilonidal sinus disease within the first five years after surgery. Due to the limited evidence base, especially in terms of the surgical approach, additional data is required to gain a more detailed insight into the matter and to improve surgical care for children and adolescents.
