Medical Abstracts Index

The following are abstracts taken from published articles in various medical journals on the topic of Pilonidal Cysts.  These abstracts and many more (778 to be exact) can all be found at PubMed if you want to kill many hours of your free time or harbor a deep fascination with researching Pilonidal Cysts.  (warning - this stuff is all in medical jargon, if you need to look up words try Medterms.com.
