title: Bascom's operation for pilonidal sinus.
abstract: During 1985 in England and Wales, 7000 patients were treated for pilonidal disease with an average hospital stay of 5 days. The aim of this paper is to report our early experience with Bascom's operation for pilonidal sinus--a procedure relatively untried in the UK.
