The goal of this observational study is to improve care for patients with complex or recurrent pilonidal sinus disease by developing and implementing a best practice care pathway, including a standardized cleft lift operation. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a best practice care pathway with standardized cleft lift operation lead to shorter wound healing time and time to return to normal activities, compared to current standard care, with traditional excision techniques.
