Effect of Phenol Addition to Laser Treatment on Epithelialization and Healing Process in Pilonidal Sinus

Minimally invasive laser ablation procedure performed under local anesthesia for pilonidal sinus treatment. Laser energy is delivered through a fiber optic probe inserted into the sinus tract to achieve thermal ablation of the sinus cavity.

rystallized phenol is applied directly into the pilonidal sinus channels after cleaning and curettage. The phenol remains in contact for a specified duration before being neutralized with normal saline irrigation.
