ABSTRACT
Introducción: actualmente no existe una técnica gold standard para el tratamiento definitivo de la enfermedad pilonidal crónica. Las técnicas empleadas en nuestro servicio son la técnica de Karydakis, Colgajo Romboidal y una variante de la técnica de Soll y col. a la que denominamos Técnica de preservación cutánea. Objetivo: evaluar y comparar la eficacia de las técnicas de Karydakis (TK), Colgajo de Limberg (CL) y de Preservación cutánea (PC) en el tratamiento de la enfermedad pilonidal crónica. Material y Métodos: estudio retrospectivo sobre 136 pacientes operados por enfermedad pilonidal crónica en el Sanatorio Allende, entre Enero del 2006 y Septiembre del 2013, basado en revisión de historias clínicas y entrevista telefónica. Se incluyeron 125 pacientes, 38 operados mediante CL, 50 con TK, y 37 con PC. Se excluyeron 11 pacientes por enfermedad pilonidal supurada. Las variables de evaluación primarias fueron el tiempo operatorio, complicaciones postoperatorias, tasa de recidiva; y las secundarias fueron el tiempo de reincorporación a actividades normales y deportivas, y el grado de satisfacción del paciente. Los test estadísticos empleados fueron el análisis de varianza, el postest de Tukey y Chi-cuadrado. Resultados: el tiempo quirúrgico fue menor en el grupo TK (37 min) en comparación con el grupo CL (53 min) (p0.05) aunque la reincorporación a actividades deportivas fue más prolongada en el grupo TK (43 días) respecto de los otros dos grupos (32 días) (p=0,042)...
Introduction: actually, there is no consensus as to the optimal surgical operation for sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease. The techniques used in our institution are Karydakis flap reconstruction, Limberg flap transposition, and a modified Soll et al procedure, which includes sinusectomy with primary closure called Cutaneous preservation technique. Objectives: to evaluate and to compare the efficacy and morbidity of Karydakis flap reconstruction (KF), Limberg flap transposition (LF) and Cutaneous preservation technique (CP) in the treatment of chronic pilonidal sinus disease. Patients and methods: a retrospective study was performed in 136 consecutive patients operated for chronic pilonidal sinus disease at Sanatorio Allende between January 2006 and September 2013, using KF, LF and CP procedures. Eleven patients were excluded for presenting suppurated pilonidal disease. One hundred and twenty five patients were included, 50 in the KF, 38 in LF and 37 in the CP group. Primary endpoints included operation time, complications and recurrence rates. Secondary end-points were healing time, return to normal and sports activities and degree of patients satisfaction. Data was obtained via a revision of digital clinical history and a standardized telephone interview. Statistical tests used were Anova with Tukeypost test and Chi-square test. Results: operating time was shorter in the KT group (37 min) compared with LF group (53min) (p0.05). However, return to sports activities was delayed in KF group (43 days), compared with LF and PC group (32 days) (p=0,042)...

Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare entity of benign features that affects the intestinal mesenteric fat tissue and can progress in different ways, from spontaneous resolution to fibrosis. The etiology is still uncertain, probably caused by trauma, infection or surgery. We report a case of a 64-year-old male patient who suddenly began with abdominal pain and leukocytosis. Diagnosis of mesenteric panniculitis was made by a CT scan and the patient evolved with spontaneous resolution within two months.
