The study was terminated at planned interim analysis when 116 patients were included. Healing was significantly better after Karydakis flap (14 versus 49 days, P<001). Recurrence rates were similar.

Comment: This study has a clear result, but there remain a number of alternatives to the Karydakis flap.
