Comparison of modified limberg flap and karydakis flap operations in XXXX surgery: prospective randomized study.

@entity1 @entity3517 @entity2869 @entity86
The best surgical technique for @entity2869 ( @entity2869 ) is still disputed. The objective of this prospective randomized study is to compare the short and long-term results of @entity3517 and Karydakis flap surgeries that have been widely used in recent years. Ninety one @entity1 were included in the study. The @entity1 were divided into two groups: @entity3517 ( @entity3517 ; n = 46) and Karydakis flap (KF; n = 45). Preoperative findings of the @entity1 , their surgical findings, and short and long-term postoperative findings were recorded and statistically compared. While no significant difference was discovered between the groups in terms of postoperative analgesic need, hospital stay, @entity86 rate, drain stay time, painless sitting time, painless toilet-sitting time, and painless walking time, return to work or school time was shorter in the @entity3517 group compared with the KF group (20.61    7.89 days, 23.29    6.42, respectively; P < 0.05). Cosmetically, the visual analog scale (VAS) of the KF group was significantly higher than that of the @entity3517 group (VAS score 7.12    1.28, 5.45    1.77, respectively; P < 0.05). Considering recurrence rates, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups. Our study found out that short and long-term results of the @entity3517 and KF procedures are similar. We believe both methods can be safely used in surgical @entity2869 treatment given that in the @entity3517 procedure, shorter return-to-work time is achieved, while the procedure provides better cosmetic results.
