Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The investigators supposed that the complete video assisted ablation of pilonidal sinus (VAAPS) could be an effective minimally invasive treatment of pilonidal sinus. This new minimally invasive treatment allows the identification of the sinus cavity with its lateral tracks, the destruction and the removal of all infected tissue and the removing of any hair.
