Primary closure or rhomboid excision and Limberg flap for the management of primary sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease? A meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract: The current published literature supports the use of the rhomboid flap excision and the Limberg flap-repair procedures over primary midline suture techniques for the elective management of primary pilonidal disease. Further high-quality studies are necessary to compare flap with off-midline repairs.

“…Due to the extensive tissue mobilization, when these techniques fail they can result in large wounds. Recurrence rates are less than 5% when successful [10] . A recent Cochrane database analysis of the surgical management of pilonidal disease concluded: "It may well be that off-midline closure is superior, but given the impression of the results and the lack of similarity across trials for some of the outcomes, better evidence is needed before suggesting it become standard of care ."…”

Pacientai skundžiasi išliekančiu ar pasikartojančiu šlapiavimu, diskomfortu ar skausmu tarpsėdmeninėje raukšlėje, dėl to sumažėja darbingumas bei prastėja gyvenimo kokybė [1,3]. Pastarieji simptomai buvo pastebėti ir pirmą kartą aprašyti 1833 metais H. Mayo.…”

Maža, lokali trauma kryžkaulio ir uodegikaulio srityje yra svarbiausias predispozicinis veiksnys, dėl kurio plaukas įauga [2][3][4][5]. Kiti rizikos veiksniai, lemiantys fistulių atsiradimą ir recidyvus, yra paveldimumas, nutukimas bei nepakankama asmens higiena [2,4].…”
