Objective This study was aim to compare the results of the surgery for non-complicated pilonidal sinus with the lateral advancement adipo-fascio-cutaneous flap versus the classic Limberg flap. Patients and methods This study was a prospective randomized controlled, and was conducted on patients with non-complicated pilonidal sinus attending Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt during the period from February 2017 to August 2019.
