Abstract
The acquired theory of puncture of hairs on the side of natal cleft is popular. There is still controversy on "pilonidal sinus" surgical treatment. A modification in the natal cleft cicatrization should be the correct surgical therapy. Postoperative treatment as hairs removal, infection control, wound healing are mandatory.
