Крестцово-копчиковый пилонидальный синус – патология, характеризующаяся наличием дефекта в межъягодичной складке, которая обычно требует хирургического вмешательства. В представленном исследовании сравниваются результаты двух хирургических методов лечения данного состояния: открытого иссечения и реконструкции лоскутом Лимберга.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель исследования</title><p>Цель исследования. Провести сравнительную оценку открытого иссечения и  пластики лоскутом Лимберга в  лечении крестцово-копчикового пилонидального синуса с целью определения преимуществ реконструкции лоскутом Лимберга.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. В проспективном исследовании приняли участие 70 случайно выбранных пациентов с диагнозом пилонидальный синус. Тридцати пяти пациентам была проведена открытая резекция, а 35 пациентам – пластическая реконструкция с использованием лоскута Лимберга.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Исследование показало, что при открытом методе иссечения (1-я группа) средняя продолжительность операции составила 33 мин, а  при  использовании пластики лоскутом Лимберга (2-я  группа) – 40  мин. Выздоровление в  первой группе пациентов наступило через 3–4  недели, во  второй группе – через 12–15  дней. В  группе с применением открытого метода иссечения наблюдалось два случая раневой инфекции и три рецидива, тогда как во  второй группе был зафиксирован один случай серомы и ни одного рецидива. Послеоперационный безболезненный период составил 15–17 дней для пациентов первой группы и 12–15 дней – для группы с применением пластической реконструкции.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Пластика лоскутом Лимберга является эффективным методом лечения пилонидального синуса. Она характеризуется более быстрым процессом заживления, низкими показателями боли, ранним возвращением к  повседневной жизни и  низким уровнем рецидивов. Это делает данную методику привлекательным выбором для лечения этой патологии. Результаты исследования предоставляют ценную информацию о сравнительных результатах двух хирургических подходов, подчеркивая преимущества пластической реконструкции с использованием лоскута Лимберга в лечении крестцово-копчикового пилонидального синуса.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Background</title><p>Background. Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is a common condition in the natal cleft that typically requires surgical intervention. This study compares the outcomes of two surgical techniques for this condition: open excision and Limberg flap reconstruction.</p></sec><sec><title>The aim of the study</title><p>The aim of the study. To conduct a comparative evaluation of the open excision versus Limberg flap inmanaging sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus todetermine the relative advantages of the Limberg flap technique.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. This prospective study involved 70  randomly selected patients diagnosed with pilonidal sinus disease. Thirty-five patients underwent open excision, while 35 underwent Limberg flap reconstruction.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The study found that the open excision method (1st method) had an average surgical duration of 33 minutes, while the Limberg flap method (2nd method) had an  average duration of  40  minutes. Patients in  the  1st method group recovered in 3–4 weeks, while those in the 2nd method group recovered in 12–15 days. The 1st method had two cases of wound infections and three recurrences, whereas the  2nd  method had one case of  seroma and no  recurrence. The  postoperative pain-free period ranged from 15–17  days for  the  1st  method and 12–15  days for the 2nd method.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The Limberg flap technique excels in managing the pilonidal sinus. It offers faster healing, lower pain scores, an earlier return to standard functions, and lower recurrence rates, making it an attractive choice for treating this condition. The study’s findings provide valuable insights into the comparative outcomes of these two surgical approaches, highlighting the advantages of the Limberg flap technique in managing the sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пилонидальный синус</kwd><kwd>эпителиально-копчиковый ход</kwd><kwd>межъягодичная складка</kwd><kwd>ромбовидное иссечение</kwd><kwd>лоскут Лимберга</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>pilonidal sinus</kwd><kwd>natal cleft</kwd><kwd>rhomboid excision</kwd><kwd>Limberg flap</kwd><kwd>PNS</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This study was conducted in Al-Hilla Teaching Hospital; we appreciate the efforts of our seniors and colleagues and the excellent assistance of all the medical staff.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Seow-Choen F, Seow-En I.
