A Comparitive Study Between Early Outcomes of Laser and Lay‐Open Technique in Management of Simple Pilonidal Sinus

Sinus laser therapy (SiLaT) demonstrated superior early outcomes, including faster recovery, reduced pain, and fewer complications with earlier resumption of daily activities compared to the lay-open technique. However, recurrence rates remain similar, necessitating long-term studies to evaluate its effectiveness as a first-line treatment. These findings support the use of SiLaT as a day-case surgical procedure, for treating simple PS disease, particularly in young active patients seeking rapid recovery with minimal morbidity.
