About

It was investigated whether there is a factor that can aid determination of the preferred technique by comparing the early Limberg flap and Karydakis procedure techniques for the treatment of recurrent pilonidal sinus.

Full description

Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is common in young men and may recur overtime after surgery.

It was investigated whether there is a factor that can aid determination of the preferred technique by comparing the early Limberg flap and Karydakis procedure techniques for the treatment of recurrent pilonidal sinus.
