Randomised controlled trials and comparative observational studies evaluating surgical interventions for pilonidal disease were eligible. Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted study characteristics and outcome data. Verbatim outcomes were standardised, grouped into domains and summarised descriptively. Because the objective was to map outcome reporting rather than estimate treatment effects, risk\u2010of\u2010bias assessment and GRADE appraisal were not undertaken.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 155 studies were included, comprising 93 randomised trials and 62 observational studies. Ten outcome domains were identified. Recurrence was reported most frequently (112 studies, 72.3%), followed by non\u2010infective complications (103, 66.5%), pain (83, 53.5%), wound healing (82, 52.9%) and return to normal activities (63, 40.6%). Patient\u2010important domains were less frequently reported, including health\u2010related quality of life or satisfaction (50, 32.3%) and cosmesis (17, 11.0%). Among outcomes designated as primary, wound healing was most common (51 studies, 32.9%), followed by recurrence (35, 22.6%) and postoperative complications (25, 16.1%). Pain (6, 3.9%), return to normal activities\/work (9, 5.8%), and psychological or quality\u2010of\u2010life outcomes (3, 1.9%) were rarely primary outcomes. Definitions, measurement instruments, assessment timepoints and overall follow\u2010up duration varied substantially across studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Comparative studies of pilonidal disease surgery predominantly prioritise recurrence, healing and complications, whereas patient\u2010important outcomes are reported less consistently and are infrequently prioritised.
