Brief Summary

Background The flaps closure including natal cleft obliteration and eccentric closure are becoming more popular due to their lower rate of recurrence including both the lateral advancement adipo-fascio-cutaneous flap and the classic limberg flap. Objective This study was aim to compare the results of the surgery for non-complicated pilonidal sinus with the lateral advancement adipo-fascio-cutaneous flap versus the classic Limberg flap. Patients and methods This study was a prospective randomized controlled, and was conducted on patients with non-complicated pilonidal sinus attending Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt during the period from February 2017 to August 2019. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo either lateral advancement flap or classic Limberg flap groups. The follow-up period ranged from 12 to 36 months.
