Abstract
Our understanding of the pathophysiology of pilonidal disease continues to evolve. In this manuscript we would like to review the current thinking about plausible causes of pilonidal disease. Based on our current understanding of this benign disorder, we offer seven potential strategies to minimize the development of symptomatic disease and recurrence. Finally, we share some ideas about future research.
