The square excision flap technique led to significantly shorter healing times, averaging 11 days compared to the modified Limberg flap.
Wound infection rates were notably lower in the square excision flap group at 3.8% versus 16.3% observed in the modified Limberg flap group.
A retrospective cohort study evaluated 102 patients who underwent surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus disease from January 2016 to January 2022.
The square excision flap method resulted in higher cosmetic satisfaction and lower recurrence rates, emphasizing its potential benefits.
