Chinese science popularization guideline on the prevention and management of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus (2026, medical personnel edition)
Abstract
Pilonidal sinus is a benign disease characterized by recurrent redness, swelling, pain, and purulent discharge in the sacrococcygeal region. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment modality, but the recurrence rate remains high, and both healthcare professionals and patients often lack a systematic understanding of this condition. This guideline systematically addresses the epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pilonidal sinus. It aims to provide a structured framework for medical professionals to conduct disease prevention and health education in clinical practice, and to promote the standardization and systematization of science popularization efforts regarding pilonidal sinus.
