ABSTRACT
Objective:
This study aimed to collate all published studies on laser therapy for pilonidal disease and demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques.Methods:
A comprehensive literature search, with no language limitations, was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to April 23, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and evaluated the bias risk of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan software (version 5.4). (PROSPERO Registration ID Number CRD42023420803).Results:
The analysis included 1214 patients from 13 studies, who fulfilled the pre-defined inclusion criteria. With a median follow-up of 12 (range, 7.8-25) months, 1000 (84.4%) patients achieved healing after primary laser treatment. The mean complication and recurrence rates were 12.7% and 7.6%, respectively.Conclusions:
Laser ablation for pilonidal sinus disease is a new minimally invasive technique with good treatment efficacy, low postoperative recovery, and shorter recovery periods following employment.Palavras-chave
