Is it beneficial to add laser ablation to curettage in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease?

Combined curettage and laser therapy showed non-significant but broad benefits over curettage alone, but statistical significance was not achieved in any of the adverse findings, as well as wound healing and recurrence. Higher body weight and higher orifice count were associated with both poor wound healing and recurrence, while prior recurrence was another factor associated with recurrence at 6 months.
