AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease, highlighting various treatment options, including the Limberg flap procedure, which has low recurrence rates.
- A case study is presented featuring a 23-year-old male patient who underwent surgery for an acute pilonidal sinus abscess.
- A video demonstration of the Limberg flap procedure is included, showcasing its simplicity and effectiveness in treating this condition.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease is frequently encountered in surgical practice. Besides excision only, the current pilonidal sinus guideline of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF-S3) also recommends plastic surgical procedures such as the cleft-lift operation described by Bascom, the Karydakis flap procedure and, due to the low recurrence rates, the Limberg flap procedure, for the treatment of this disease.
Indication: In our case we show the surgical procedure performed on a 23-year-old male patient, who was previously treated for an acute abscess-forming sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus.
Method: Our video shows the fasciocutaneous rhombic flap procedure described by Limberg step by step.
Conclusion: The Limberg flap procedure is a simple operation for the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease.

Bone augmentation procedures often leads to coronal displacement of the mucogingival junction, a deficiency of keratinized mucosa, and a reduction in soft tissue height. These challenges complicate the achievement of an ideal peri-implant phenotype. It is known that addressing both the quantity and quality of soft tissue is crucial for the long-term success and aesthetics of implants.

Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a surgical procedure reserved for severe end-stage corneal blindness with a dry, keratinized ocular surface. Late resorption of bone has been described as a complication of this procedure. We present a novel surgical technique to repair laminar resorption associated with OOKP using transpalpebral split-pedicle orbicularis oculi flaps.

Introduction: Endoscopic antireflux therapy has shown promising potential in the treatment for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, there is currently no universally accepted standard for endoscopic surgery. Therefore, we introduced antireflux mucosal valvuloplasty (ARMV), an innovative endoscopic treatment for GERD.
