Fenolizasyon ve SILaC Lazer: Pilonidal Sinüs Hastalığının Tedavisinde Hangisi Daha Başarılı?

Objective: In this study we aimed to compare phenol application and sinus laser-assisted closure (SiLaC) methods for the treatment of pilonidal disease (PSD). 
 Materials Methods: A total 141 patients were divided into two groups with 73 being in group 68 laser group. Patients’ demographic characteristics, smoking status, presence co-morbidities, history abscess drainage, previous PSD surgery, recurrence need re-operation, postoperative complications, distance orifice from midline number tract retrospectively recorded compared between groups. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed terms features free survival (DFS). DFS significantly shorter smoker complications. Recurrence rate similar both Previous complications are factors affecting survival. Number tracts recurrence. According ROC curve analysis, a cut-off value >1.4 cm predicted development sensitivity 100%, specificity 92.91%. Conclusion: The results indicate that success rates relatively newer SILaC method phenolization technique. Rate is also similar. Both can be safely effectively used PSD.
