Abstract
A clear understanding of the changes in the theories on the aetiology of pilonidal sinus disease is essential to understand how these have influenced the evolution of its treatment and to select appropriate modes of treatment in the future. This condition may be self-limiting, and successful non-surgical treatments have been reported using simple removal of hairs, careful natal-cleft hygiene and injections with phenol. For patients with minor symptoms, this could be the correct initial approach. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
