Superiority of Asymmetric Modified Limberg Flap for Surgical Treatment of Pilonidal Disease

PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS:There were significantly more macerations in Group 1 (P < 0.001). All macerations were detected on the lower part of the incision left on the intergluteal sulcus, and infections occurred subsequent to maceration. The infection rate was statistically higher in Group 1 tha...

Zusammenfassung:	PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS:There were significantly more macerations in Group 1 (P < 0.001). All macerations were detected on the lower part of the incision left on the intergluteal sulcus, and infections occurred subsequent to maceration. The infection rate was statistically higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (P = 0.028). We noted that as a result of these complications, time to suture removal (P = 0.001), discharge from hospital (P = 0.001), and time off from work (P = 0.001) were significantly longer for Group 1 than for Group 2. There were two recurrences in the inferior part of the suture line in Group 1 and none in Group 2, which showed no statistical difference (P = 0.493). CONCLUSIONS:
