RESUMO
The problem of the treatment of pilonidal disease, affecting 5% of the adult working-age population and occupying the fourth place in the structure of coloproctological diseases after hemorrhoids, paraproctitis and anal fissure, is extremely relevant today. The history of the choice of approaches to surgical treatment has almost 2 centuries. Based on different theories of etiopathogenesis, various methods of surgical treatment have been proposed. However, the results of treatment leave much to be desired. To date, there is no 'gold standard' of surgical treatment of pilonidal disease, nor any standardization in this matter. The aim of the investigation is to compare the two, in our opinion, the most versatile methods of surgical treatment of the nosology under consideration, which allow to achieve a good cosmetic result in cases of any complexity without long-term disability - Limberg flap and Bascom II plastics. Indicators such as the duration of the intervention, the level of postoperative pain, postoperative complications, the duration of disability, patient satisfaction with the cosmetic result, relapses were evaluated. As a result, patients after performing Bascom II noted less postoperative pain and were more satisfied with the cosmetic result. A significantly lower percentage of relapses was noted in the group with Limberg flap. The percentage of complications and terms of disability was not significantly different.
