Abstract
Pilonidal DiseaseTo anyone interested in the many theories of the origin of pilonidal cysts the article by Hopping22 provides ready access to all of them. This research, based on 174 references and on microscopical examination of 133 specimens over a three-year period, with a study of 499 cases, including follow-up data, provides a worth-while source of information on this subject. In addition, Hopping praises the study of Kleckner in 1936, which was based on a composite study of 4000 cases of his own and others. Hopping's cases were treated by five different methods. Recurrence rates varied from 24 per . . .Keywords
