This study presents a simple modification for the Karydakis flap technique to improve outcomes in pilonidal disease surgery. The method addresses potential complications like thin skin edges and wound failure, enhancing surgical success.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Techniques
  • Wound Healing
  • Pilonidal Disease Management

Background:

  • Pilonidal disease is a common condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • The Karydakis flap is a standard surgical approach.
  • Certain cases present challenges due to deep-seated disease affecting flap viability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple modification of the Karydakis flap technique.
  • To address potential complications such as thin skin edges and dead space.
  • To improve outcomes in the surgical treatment of pilonidal disease.

Main Methods:

  • A modification of skin incision marking for the Karydakis flap is described.
  • The technique aims to prevent issues arising from deep cyst or diseased tissue.
