    Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) affects younger individuals, with an incidence of 26 per 100,000 and a male-to-female ratio of approximately 3:1.

  • 2

    Fibrin glue treatment for PSD offers a high cure rate of over 90%, rapid recovery, and eliminates the need for extensive aftercare.

  • 3

    Minimally invasive techniques, including fibrin glue, are gaining popularity due to lower tissue loss and quicker return to normal activities.

  • 4

    Traditional surgical methods for PSD often result in significant tissue loss, prolonged healing times, and recurrence rates of up to 18%.

  • 5

    The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fibrin glue as a primary treatment for PSD, following patients for at least one year postoperatively.
