Limberg flap for the management of pilonidal sinus reduces disease recurrence compared to Karydakis and Bascom procedure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Although, this advantage was clinically persisted on subgroup analysis but failed to achieve statistical significance. PMID: 32975384 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
