Comparison of short‐ and long‐term outcomes of diode laser vs. crystallized phenol treatment for pilonidal sinus disease: A propensity score‐matched multicentre study
Both treatments demonstrated low complication and recurrence rates with high recovery rates. Laser favoured faster healing and fewer sessions, whereas phenol allowed for shorter procedures and earlier return to daily life.
