[The use of a laser in the surgical treatment of an epithelial coccygeal cyst].
In acute inflammation of pilonidal sinus (PS), use of a laser scalpel permitted to reduce considerably the incidence of postoperative suppuration. Pain syndrome became less pronounced, or was absent, wound swelling disappeared at the early period. No differences in results of surgical treatment of uncomplicated PS at the stage of chronic inflammation in use of CO2-laser and conventional methods of treatment were noted. An original technique of operation for PS complicated by multiple fistulas, purulent leaks, pyodermia has been suggested. For plastic closure of a wound, the effect of laser photohydraulic preparation was used. Operated on was 31 patient, no disease recurrence was noted. Rough cicatricial deformity of the sacro-coccygeal region was absent.
