Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess whether adolescent patients who heal their pilonidal sinus disease with the Bascom cleft lift have a sustained result, or if younger age puts them at increased risk of relapse.
Methods: Twenty-two consecutive patients (18 male, median age 16years at surgery) who underwent Bascom procedures were contacted regarding long term outcomes following surgery. Additional clinical data were collected from the medical records of the subjects.
