Surgical preference and outcomes in pilonidal sinus disease: a national multicenter study evaluating complications, recurrence, and quality of life (PISI TURKEY)
In this nationwide real-world cohort, non-excisional procedures were associated with shorter operative time, shorter hospital stay, fewer wound-related complications, and greater early improvements in QoL and patient satisfaction compared with excision-based procedures, without an apparent increase in 12-month recurrence. Given the retrospective design, baseline imbalances between groups, and limited follow-up, these findings should be confirmed in prospective comparative studies with longer follow-up.
