Comparative StudyLimberg flap is better for the surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus. Results of a 767 patients series with an at least five years follow-up period.
Pilonidal Sinus Disease (PSD) is an acquired condition usually seen in young adult males. This descriptive retrospective study has been performed to determine effects of primary suture, marsupialization and Limberg Flap for the management of PSD on the outcomes of return to work period, infection and recurrence rates. ⋯ Because of earlier healing, shorter return to work and lower rates of infection and recurrence, limberg flap is better for PSD.

Case ReportsEpithelial splenic cysts and life-threatening splenic rupture.
Primary splenic cysts are relatively uncommon and in the majority of cases are classified as epithelial cysts which are more frequent in young patients. Most of them are asymptomatic, and they are found incidentally during imaging techniques or laparotomy. We report two rare cases of patients with epithelial splenic cysts as an incidental finding during emergency laparotomy for splenic rupture. ⋯ Epithelial splenic cysts are a rare entity and they can be an incidental finding during the surgical treatment of a spleen rupture and haemoperitoneum. These cysts may be a predisposing factor to splenic rupture in cases of increased intraabdominal pressure or blunt abdominal trauma.
