Abstract

The occurrence of Pilonidal sinus in the community is quite common. This is a series of cases from Jan 2008 till Dec 2017. A total of 19 males were operated. They were in the age group 27 years to 45 years. All the individuals were hairy males. The patients were placed in 2 groups and treated by Limberg flap in one group and Karydakis flap in the second group. The surgical parameters taken included duration of surgery, duration of pain, length of hospital stay, return to work and post-operative result. 12 patients were treated by Limberg flap and 7 by Karydakis flap. The results in both groups were similar with the pain being lesser with Karydakis flap.
