Intra-operative ultrasound in the surgical treatment of complex and recurrent pilonidal disease: a retrospective, observational, single-center study

Further comparative studies are needed to validate its effectiveness and assess its potential role as a standard adjunct in the surgical management of pilonidal disease.
