title: [Clinical management of pilonidal diseas-interpretation of practice parameters for the management of pilonidal disease from American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons].
abstract: Pilonidal disease is a common clinical condition which is not sufficiently recognized with regard to the clinical manifestation and treatment by colorectal surgeons in China, resulting in high misdiagnosis rate and recurrent rate. With reference to the Practice Parameters for the Management of Pilonidal Disease published in 2013 by The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, we discuss the management of pilonidal disease in four aspects, including etiology, diagnoses, nonoperative and operative management.
