Introduction & Objective: Pilonidal disease is a common inflammatory condition, especially in young population. A wide variety of surgical techniques are used to treat pilonidal sinuses, including open and close techniques. An ideal surgical technique would have minimum risk of recurrence, a short hospital stay and improved patient satisfaction. In this paper we are reporting about our experience in Limberg flap technique, assessing our experience in comparison with studies of other relevant centers in the world. Materials & Methods: In this observative, descriptive, cross sectional study. 70 patients were followed prospectively at least one year post operation. Data collection method is Census and all information was evaluated with SPSS14. The relevant information has been obtained from patients files and also has been directly approached with them. Results: Results reveal that surgery of pilonidal sinus by Limberg flap causes the patients to return to their daily activities earlier. It can also be effective in reducing the hospitalization period as well as hematoma (0%), infection (2.6%), flap necrosis (0%) and numbness of the operation site (26.31%). The prominent point in this method is the low rate of recurrence rate. Conclusions: In this method, early and delayed complications are less than in other surgery methods. The problem of recurrence is that it causes complication and also cost and time for patients. Thus method can be a suitable one to reduce patient’s expenses and costs of apart from work for patients as well as society.
