Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    through study completion at an average of 36 months

Study Arms (3)

Primary Closure

Patients with pilonidal sinus disease treated with surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. Technique: primary closure. Technical details: An elliptical incision was made, and the excision included sinus openings at the median line and extended down to the pre-sacral fascia. One suction drain was placed in the wound cavity. Subcutaneous tissue was approximated with interrupted 2-0 absorbable suture, and skin was closed with interrupted 2-0 silk suture.

Procedure: surgery for pilonidal sinus disease

Limberg Flap Technique

Patients with pilonidal sinus disease treated with surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. Technique: Limberg Flap Technique. Technical details: A rhomboid incision was made as to include all sinus openings, and an excision was made down to the pre-sacral fascia. A bisector drawn in the rhombohedron was extended laterally to a length similar to that of a corner of the rhombohedron. Then, the flap was prepared by removing gluteal muscle with its fascia. One suction drain was placed at the wound cavity. The base of the flap was approximated with the presacral fascia at the excised area with interrupted 2-0 absorbable sutures. Subcutaneous tissue was approximated with interrupted 2-0 absorbable sutures, and the skin was closed with interrupted 3-0 prolene suture.

Procedure: surgery for pilonidal sinus disease

Modified Limberg Technique

Patients with pilonidal sinus disease treated with surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. Technique: Modified Limberg Flap Technique. Technical details: As in Limberg flap technique, a rhomboid incision was made. Upper and lower corners of the excision were lateralized 2 cm away from the midline in order to keep the suturing line at the inferior from overlapping the midline. An excision was made down to the pre-sacral fascia. One suction drain was placed at the wound cavity, and the base of the flap was approximated with the pre-sacral fascia at the excised area with interrupted 2-0 absorbable sutures. Subcutaneous tissue was approximated with interrupted 2-0 absorbable suture, and the skin was closed with 3-0 prolene.

Procedure: surgery for pilonidal sinus disease
