Which procedure for which disease? Susanne Haas takes a practical, surgical look at the treatment spectrum of pilonidal sinus disease — from minimally invasive techniques for limited disease to off-midline procedures for more extensive or recurrent disease. Focused on patient selection, indications and timing, her talk addresses the key surgical decisions that can determine healing, recurrence and morbidity.
