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
This is a single-centre exploratory study of patients previously treated for a pilonidal cyst who are consulting for a recurrence. The study consists of a single assessment, the data from which will be recorded on an electronic case report form (CRF). The objective of this study does not impose any particular constraints. The only evaluation of the study is carried out when the patient comes in for consultation for a recurrence of a pilonidal cyst. Quality of life will be assessed using the The MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) scale and the Wound quality of life in Chronic Wounds survey (Wound QoL17). Pain and discomfort will be assessed using a simple numerical scale ranging from 0 to 10.

RECRUITINGImpact 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.
Time frame: Day 0
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).
Time frame: Day 0
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.
