This survey highlights issues with quality in pilonidal surgery in the UK, with persistence of potentially outdated techniques, no consistent treatment escalation plan, a suggestion of under- or overtreatment of disease and a high perception of failure. This may relate to the current system of training and lack of evidence-based guidance.
