Abstract
Aim: In our study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of Limberg flap and crystallised phenol treatments applied to patients with recurrent pilonidal sinus. Method: Patients with recurrent pilonidal sinus disease who were treated with the surgical excision Limberg flap technique and crystallised phenol method in our hospital General Surgery Clinic between 2017 and 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were assessed according to age, gender, hospital stay, smoking, infection, return-to-work period and recurrence rates. Results: A total of 25 patients who underwent Limberg flap treatment due to recurrent disease and 32 patients who were treated with the phenol method were identified retrospectively. Patients with missing data were excluded, and 40 patients were included in the study. In all, 72.5% of the patients were male. The mean age of the Limberg group was 25.25±6.12, and that of the crystallised phenol group was 24.60±6.11. While the mean hospital stay was 2.05±0.75 days in the Limberg group, all patients were discharged on the same day in the crystallised phenol group (p
Özet
Amaç: Çalışmamızda nüks pilonidal sinüslü hastalara uygulanan Limberg flep ve kristalize fenol tedavilerinin etkinliğini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Hastanemiz genel cerrahi kliniğinde, 2017-2019 tarihleri arasında cerrahi eksizyon Limberg flep tekniği ve kristalize fenol yöntemi ile tedavi edilen nüks pilonidal sinüs hastalığı tanısı alan hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Olgular yaş, cinsiyet, hastanede kalış süresi, sigara, enfeksiyon, işe dönüş süresi ve nüks oranlarına göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Nüks hastalık nedeniyle işlem yapılan hasta dosyaları arasından Limberg flep uygulanan 25 hasta ve fenol uygulaması yapılan 32 hasta geriye dönük tespit edildi. Eksik verileri olan hastalar dışlandı ve 40 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların %72,5’i erkekti. Limberg grubunun yaş ortalaması 25,25±6,12, kristalize fenol grubunun ise 24,60±6,11 idi. Limberg grubunda hastanede kalış süresi 2,05±0,75 gün iken, kristalize fenol grubunda tüm olgular aynı gün taburcu edildi (p
