The goal of this observational study is to describe the impact of recurrence on the quality of life of patients treated with radical surgery and laser therapy.
The secondary objective is to describe in patients treated with radical surgery and laser treatment :
* Intensity of pain and discomfort * Duration of nursing care since surgery * Duration of inactivity since intervention
Patient aged 14 or over
Patient has been informed of the objectives and conditions of the study and has not objected to the collection of his/her data.
If the patient is under 18 years of age, both parents or the holder(s) of parental authority have been informed of their child's participation in the study and do not oppose it

Impact of recurrence of pilonidal cyst on patient's quality of life
Quality of life will be assessed using the SF36 scale. The SF-36 health status questionnaire has been validated in several languages, including English. It is a generic score for assessing quality of life. An average physical score (PCS = Physical Composite Score) and an average mental score (MCS = Mental Composite Score) can be calculated using an established algorithm. The SF-36 can be used by comparing (searching for correlations) the scores of the different domains of the SF-36 in a study population with those of the normal population, or by searching for correlations between the scores of the different domains of the SF-36 and other explanatory medical, functional, social, etc. variables.
The intensity of pain and discomfort
The intensity of pain and discomfort will be assessed using a simple numerical scale ranging from 0 (no pain/discomfort) to 10 (worst pain/discomfort ever experienced).
Quality of life assessment with Wound QoL17 questionnaire
The Wound QoL17 is a questionnaire on quality of life in relation to chronic wounds. It comprises 17 items relating to the patient's experience over the last 7 days, which can be classified into three categories relating to daily life, the body and the psyche.
