Resumen
TAşKIN, Ali K. y OZCETIN, Bülent. Comparison of the effectiveness of laser and crystallized phenol in the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus. Cir. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.3, pp.297-303. Epub 04-Sep-2023. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.22000461.
Background:
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of crystallized phenol and laser in the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus (SPS) disease.
Results:
A total of 80 patients (40 crystallized phenol, 40 laser) were included in the study. The procedure time was significantly shorter in the crystallized phenol group than in the laser group (543 and 837 s, p < 0.001). While there was no significant difference in recurrence and patient satisfaction between the groups (p > 0.05), the visual pain scale pain score and post-procedural complications were significantly lower in the laser group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the number of sinuses and recurrence, bleeding, pain, and patient satisfaction (p > 0.05).
Conclusions:
Crystallized phenol and laser used in the treatment of SPS disease have a low recurrence and similar long-term patient satisfaction. However, laser treatment has fewer intraoperative complications and post-operative pain severity than crystallized phenol.
