title: Limberg flap for pilonidal disease: the "no-protractor" approach, 3 steps to success.
abstract: We describe a simple system for marking up a patient for a Limberg flap for pilonidal disease treatment. The technique involves only the use of a ruler and produces a consistent marking for the flap. In our hands it has been used in over 120 cases with no failures of rotation or flap necrosis.
