Comparative Study
Comparison of the classic Limberg flap and modified Limberg flap in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease: a retrospective analysis of 416 patients.
Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is usually seen on the sacrococcygeal region in adolescent patients. The current study analyzed the outcome of the rhomboid excision and the Limberg flap procedure (cLF) in comparison to the modified Limberg flap procedure (mlF) for PSD. ⋯ The mlF is a more effective treatment than cLF for the surgical management of PSD.
