Modified Limberg Flap

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the results of the modified Limberg flap (MLF) and modified Karydakis flap (MKF) techniques which were performed for the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD).Methods: The patients who were operated for PSD by the same surgeon between November 2010 and July 2013 in Konya Seydisehir Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 106 patients were evaluated in this study regarding age, gender, operation time, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.Results: There were 14 female and 92 male patients (MLF; 5/52 and MKF; 9/40). MLF was performed in 57 (53.8%) patients and MKF was performed in 49 (46.2%) patients. Length of Hospital stay and drain removal time were less in MKF group but it was not significantly different between two groups (p>0.05). Operation time was shorter in MKF group than MLF group (p<0.05). The complication rates of the MLF and MKF groups were 10.5% and 12.2% respectively. The recurrence was seen in 1 patient in MLF group and 2 in MKF group.Conclusions: MKF has shorter operation time than MLF, however both techniques have a similar complication and recurrence rate. In conclusion MLF and MKF procedures can be safely used as a surgical treatment of PSD.

Introduction: Despite the available guidelines, opinions of many surgeons are quite ambiguous when it comes to the therapy of pilonidal sinus disease. The treatment can be a frustrating problem both for the surgeon and the patient because it is associated with wound complications and high recurrence rate. The objective of this study was to analyze the results of patients with pilonidal sinus disease undergoing the Karydakis flap procedure. Methods: A total of 27 patients treated for primary and recurrent pilonidal disease using the Karydakis flap procedure at our department between October 23, 2018 and November 22, 2019 were analyzed prospectively. We evaluated postoperative wound healing, complications and recurrence of the disease in a short-term follow-up period. Disease recurrence was defined as prolonged healing or as a new disease requiring repeated surgery. Results: In December 2019 all 27 patients came for a follow-up visit. The result was a fully lateralized wound without any signs of a new disease in all patients. In May 2020 a follow-up visit by phone was performed. The median follow-up was 12 months. The healing process was free of any serious complications in 25 patients. Seroma formation cases were managed by puncture in the outpatient setting. Conclusion: According to the available evidence and guidelines, off-midline procedures – the Karydakis flap, Bascom cleft lift, and Limberg flap procedures – are associated with lower recurrence rates and better wound healing. An important goal is to achieve complete wound lateralization and to change the configuration of the gluteal cleft by reshaping it, which results in a nicely flattened gluteal crease.

Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the risk factors for complications and recurrence in pilonidal sinus disease. The prospective study consisted of 144 patients with pilonidal sinus disease who were operated on at Dicle University Medical Faculty, Department of General Surgery, between February 2008 and December 2010. Patients receiving the Limberg flap totaled 106 (73.6%), while 38 (26.4%) had primary closure. Postoperative complications developed in 42 subjects (29.2%), and recurrence occurred in 19 (13.2%). The Limberg flap method was statistically considered as a risk factor for postoperative complications (P  =  0.039). Regarding recurrence, family tendency (P  =  0.011), sinus number (P  =  0.005), cavity diameter (P  =  0.002), and primary closure (P  =  0.001) were found to be risk factors. Postoperative complication rate is higher in the Limberg flap method than primary closure method. The risk of recurrence is related to family tendency, sinus number, cavity diameter and anesthesia type and is also higher in primary closure.
