US-controlled intracavitary laser obliteration of epithelial coccygeal
A retrospective analysis of 211 patients with the treatment of pilonidal cyst, ad-mitted to the clinic for routine operations. The men were 159 (75.4%), women - 52 (24.6%). In the group of patients who were treated by our method, virtually no pain, while in the control group it was 3,8 ± 1,9 points on the international visual analog pain scale. The duration of hospital treatment in the first group was 2,2 ± 0,4 days, in the second - 12,3 ± 2,1 days. Patients of the main group were free to walk, sit down, lie down on your back, which can not be said about the control group. Employability of patients recovered after 5,3 ± 1,2 days, and in the control group - 17,3 ± 2,4. After conventional treatment of disease recurrence was observed in 4 patients (4.1%), after laser treatment was 7.5% (8 patients). These patients had a long history of the disease and frequent relapses of the dis-ease. Subsequently, they were operated. Thus, the absence of pain, good tolera-bility and cosmetic effect, satisfactory long-term results of treatment can be rec-ommended method of laser treatment in patients without a long history of the disease.
