The Karydakis Flap Procedure for Pilonidal Disease is a surgical technique designed to treat pilonidal sinuses while reducing the risk of recurrence. This method removes the sinus and reconstructs the affected area to prevent further issues.

The procedure involves excising the sinus tract and a portion of the surrounding tissue. A flap of healthy skin and tissue is then mobilized and sutured over the excised area, shifting the midline and reducing tension on the wound.

Recovery involves managing discomfort with medications and following strict wound care protocols. Patients are advised to avoid prolonged sitting and maintain proper hygiene to support healing.

The Karydakis flap procedure benefits patients by providing a durable and low-recurrence solution for pilonidal disease. This approach ensures effective treatment while minimizing postoperative complications and improving quality of life.
