Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Superiority of Limberg Flap in Recurrent Pilonidal Sinus Disease
Superiority as measured by rates of recurrence and complication, length of hospital stay, return work, VAS skore, patient satisfaction and complet healing duration.
January 2009 to December 2013, Patients were invited for control 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year intervals
Study Arms (2)
Limberg flap
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients were divided into two groups, group 1 were treated with Limberg flap technique
Karydakis procedure
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients were divided into two groups, group 2 were treated with Karydakis procedure
Interventions
Patients were divided into two groups, group 1 were treated with Limberg flap technique (n= 37) . Two groups were compared with a statistical in terms of fluid collection, wound infection, flap edema, hematoma, partial wound separation, return to daily activities, pain score, completes healing time, painless seating and patient satisfactions
Patients were divided into two groups, group 2 were treated with Karydakis flap (n= 34). Two groups were compared with a statistical in terms of fluid collection, wound infection, flap edema, hematoma, partial wound separation, return to daily activities, pain score, completes healing time, painless seating and patient satisfactions
