Method: A working group established by the Turkish Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery conducted a systematic literature review and invited national and international experts with relevant publication records to participate in a Delphi survey. A four-round Delphi process was conducted between July 2023 and February 2024. Statements that reached ≥70% consensus (agree/strongly agree) were accepted. Results: Of the 172 experts invited, 98 agreed to participate, and 52 completed at least two rounds. Expert opinions were evaluated across nine key aspects of PD management: classification, diagnosis, acute abscess, minimally invasive and excisional treatments, recurrence, hair removal, perioperative care, and postoperative management. Conclusion: This Delphi study presents expert consensus on unresolved clinical questions in the management of PD. The findings provide practical recommendations for surgeons and emphasize the need for prospective, high-quality studies to establish standardized treatment pathways. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
