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 COMPARATOR

Patients were divided into two groups, group 1 were treated with Limberg flap technique

Procedure: Limberg flap

Karydakis procedure

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients were divided into two groups, group 2 were treated with Karydakis procedure

Procedure: Karydakis procedure

Interventions

Limberg flapPROCEDURE

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

Limberg flap

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
