NCT04334681

Brief Summary

In our hospital, between January 2013 and January 2017, those operated with the Modified Limberg flap method after the Rhomboid excision due to pilonidal disease, and those operated with the un-roofing curettage method will be screened retrospectively. Patients will be divided into two groups as Un-roofing curettage group (UC group) and the Modified Limberg Flap group (LF group). Operation time, hospital stay time, return to work time, recovery time, Time to walk without pain, days, Time to sit on the toilet without pain, days, Postoperative VAS and recurrence will be compared between both groups

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Mobilization Time,Days

    Time to return to the daily activities of the patients were measured.

    15 days

  • Number of Participants With Recurring Disease

    It has been reported in the literature that a five or ten year follow-up period is required for the effective evaluation of recurrence. In both groups, the number of recurrent patients during the follow-up period will be determined. Observation of the following findings on physical examination made a diagnosis of recurrence; * New sinus orifice formation, * Or discharge from the sinus orifice

    Number of Participants with Recurring Disease, up to five years

  • Operation Time

    Mean operation time was determined in minutes in both groups.

    operation time, up to 100 minutes

  • Hospitalization Time

    In both groups, hospitalization will be determined as a day.

    Hospitalization time, up to 15 days

Study Arms (2)

UC Group

Patients operated on the un-roofing curettage method in the treatment of pilonidal disease will be analyzed in this group.

Procedure: Un-roofing curettage method

LF Group

Patients who have been operated with the modified Limberg flap method after rhomboid excision in the treatment of pilonidal disease will be analyzed in this group.

Procedure: Modified Limberg Flap Group

Interventions

In this method, the roof of the pilonidal cyst is opened, and the inside is cleaned, and curettage is performed. The wound is closed with a dressing after hemostasis.

UC Group

In this method, the pilonidal cyst is excised with a rhomboid incision and closed with the modified Limberg flap method.

LF Group
