Pilonidal sinus is a considerable source of problems in young patients both in terms of discomfort and in time off to work. Many procedures have been proposed for its treatment but most of them present substantial persistence/recurrence rates. Surgical procedures avoiding a wound in the midline are most likely to succeed. Bascom's technique is the simplest and successful method. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the results of the Bascom's procedure performed by the authors as to healing time and recurrence rate. All patients with chronic pilonidal disease, treated with Bascom's technique were re-viewed. Complications, healing time and long-term follow-up were considered.
