Reconstruction following excision of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus with a perforator-based fasciocutaneous Limberg flap.
Many procedures have been proposed for the management of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. The aim of this work is to evaluate the superiorly based flap (used before for reconstruction of pressure sore) for reconstruction after excision of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus. ⋯ The use of superiorly based Limberg flap in reconstruction after excision of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is reliable, easily performed, associated with complete cure and low postoperative complications.

Comparative StudyDecompression of the ulnar nerve and minimal medial epicondylectomy with a small incision for cubital tunnel syndrome: comparison with anterior subcutaneous transposition of the nerve.
The objective of this study is to compare the results of ulnar nerve decompression and minimal medial epicondylectomy with a small incision (group I) and anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve (group II) for cubital tunnel syndrome. ⋯ Decompression and minimal medial epicondylectomy with a small incision seems to be more recommendable than anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve for cubital tunnel syndrome in terms of its simplicity and lesser invasiveness.
