Long‐Term Outcomes of Sinus Laser‐Assisted Closure in Primary Versus Recurrent Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study
SiLaC demonstrated acceptable recurrence rates for primary SPSD comparable to other minimally invasive techniques at long-term follow-up, but significantly poorer outcomes in recurrent disease. Therefore, SiLaC may be considered a feasible first-line option for primary SPSD, while recurrent cases require careful patient selection and consideration of alternative treatments.
