Background: The aim of this study is to report short-and long-term results using video-assisted ablation of pilonidal sinus (PS) technique to treat recurrent PS. Methods: We included all consecutive patients with a recurrent PS disease operated on with endoscopic approach since 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2018. Analyzed outcomes were recurrence rate at 1, 3, and 5 years, time off work, time to sitting on toilet and to walk without pain, time to wound healing, rate of incomplete wound healing and postoperative infection, postoperative pain at 6 hours, 1 day, and 1 week, and patients' satisfaction after 1 month. Demographic and sinuses' data were recorded. To adjust for all the variables, multivariate analyses were performed with outcomes as dependent variables, and with patients' and sinuses' characteristics as independent variables. Results: Sixty-three patients were included in the analysis. Recurrence rate at 1-year follow-up was 4.7% (3 patients on 63), at 3-year follow-up was 11.7% (4 on 34), and at 5-year follow-up was 23.07% (3 on 13). A 3-and 5-year follow-up was completed by 34 and 13 patients, respectively. The mean time off work was 3.5 ± 1.5 days, time to sitting on toilet without pain was 1.5 ± 1.1 days, and time to walk without pain was 1.3 ± 0.9 days. The mean time to wound healing was 27.9 ± 10.3 days, with a rate of incomplete wound healing of 4.7%. Postoperative infection rate was 7.9%. The mean postoperative pain was 1 ± 0.9 at 6 hours after the procedure, 0.6 ± 0.6 at 1 day and 0.1 ± 0.3 at 1 week. Patients' satisfaction was good in 98.5% of patients. After the multivariate analysis, no parameters showed an influence on the postoperative outcomes. Conclusions: Our results encouraged to adopt an endoscopic approach even in case of recurrent PS

Analyzed outcomes were recurrence rate at 1, 3, and 5 years, time off work, time to sitting on toilet and to walk without pain, time to wound healing, rate of incomplete wound healing and postoperative infection, postoperative pain at 6 hours, 1 day, and 1 week, and patients' satisfaction after 1 month.
