The Outcome of Limberg Flap Reconstruction Procedure for Primary Natal Cleft Pilonidal Sinus Disease: Four Years’ Experience at a Teaching Hospital in Pakistan

Abstract: Background: Natal cleft pilonidal sinus disease is known for its high recurrence rate after surgery. Different surgical procedures are being used for its treatment and these vary from wide excision followed by healing with secondary intention to excision followed by reconstruction with a flap. Limberg flap reconstruction procedure has been used by many surgeons as their primary choice owing to its low recurrence rate and less postoperative complications. Objective: The objective of this study was to asse… Show more

“…Reconstruction of the pilonidal excision defect with a transposition Limberg flap has a short learning curve. The technique obliterates the natal cleft with large vascularised pedicle [7]. The flattening of natal cleft avoids scar in midline, reduces maceration , friction, and makes it easier for patients to maintain good hygiene.…”
