BackgroundSacrococcygeal pilonidal disease (SPND) is a common surgical condition with a multitude of surgical treatments. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of modified Limberg flap (MLF) and that of rotational gluteal flap (RGF) in treatment of SPND. Materials and methodsThis was a retrospective case-controlled study involving adult patients of both genders who were treated with either MLF or RGF for SPND. The main outcomes of the study were the recurrence of SPND, complications, operation time, hospital stay, time of healing, time to return to daily activities, and cosmetic outcomes. ResultsA total of 189 (143 males) patients with a mean age of 23.5?y were included. Ninety-five patients were treated with RGF (cases), and 94 were treated with MLF (controls). Both the groups were matched regarding age, gender, body mass index, and disease severity.
