Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • All patients aged 12 years and older who present with primary pilonidal sinus disease; Type 1b and 3 of the Dutch staging system

  • Sufficient understanding of the Dutch written language (reading and writing)
  • Eligible for questionnaires sent by e-mail

Exclusion

  • Asymptomatic (Type 1a), recurrent (Type 4; except those patients who only have had drainage of their abscess and no other surgical treatment), or chronic wounds (hypergranulating) after PSD surgery (Type 5) of the Dutch staging system
  • Patients with known underlying or concomitant medical conditions that may interfere with normal wound healing (e.g. systemic skin and connective tissue diseases, any kind of congenital defect of metabolism including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Cushing syndrome or disease, scurvy, chronic hypothyroidism, congenital or acquired immunosuppressive condition, chronic renal failure, or chronic hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh class B or C), severe malnutrition, or other concomitant illness which, in the opinion of the investigator, has the potential to significantly delay wound healing)
  • Severe drug abuse (and therefore protocol deviation can be expected)
  • Patients expected not to comply with the study protocol (including patients with severe cognitive dysfunction/impairment and severe psychiatric disorders)
  • Patients with insufficient knowledge of the Dutch written language who are thus unable to answer the questionnaires
  • Patients that are unable or not willing to give full informed consent
