The application of EPSiT in pilonidal sinus disease: an international Delphi consensus study endorsed by the Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (ALSGBI)

1

Chronic pilonidal sinus disease poses challenges with traditional surgical techniques, leading to complications and poor quality of life.
2

Minimally invasive techniques like EPSiT and VAAPS offer reduced complications and faster recovery compared to conventional surgery.
3

EPSiT's uptake in the UK is limited due to evolving evidence, lack of guidelines, and concerns about its effectiveness.
4

A Delphi consensus study aims to standardize EPSiT protocols and improve its adoption among surgeons treating pilonidal disease.
5

The study involves expert surgeons and patient feedback to ensure comprehensive understanding and recommendations for EPSiT.
