Although there are many methods for the surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus disease, the number of studies specific to women is limited in the literature. In addition to post-treatment recurrence and complication rates in women, aesthetic results are also of great importance. This study will compare the Karydakis procedure, a flap method, and the Bascom's pit-pick procedure, a minimally invasive procedure, in terms of recurrence, complications and aesthetics, especially in female patients with three or fewer pits.

Diagnosed with pilonidal sinus disease, having 3 or fewer pits.
No previous surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus.
Under 18 years of age
