Limberg flap reconstruction for the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease.
Pilonidal disease is a common chronic disorder of the sacrococcygeal area affecting young people. Recent reports have advocated different surgical approaches, such as open or closed technique, but recurrence complicates all forms of treatment. We conducted this case review to evaluate the validity of Limberg flap reconstruction method in the treatment of chronic recurrent pilonidal disease. ⋯ No patient had recurrence during the above period. Limberg flap reconstruction has several advantages compared to the classical surgical methods for the treatment of pilonidal disease. The patients have a short hospital stay, are mobilized soon after surgery and have a minimal morbidity and recurrence rate.
