Abstract
Pilonidal disease is a common disease worldwide, with a wide range of treatment options, from various cyst excision options to patchwork. Surgeons from all over the world are looking for effective, low-traumatic methods of treating the epithelial coccygeal passage. This review reflects the most common, modern traditional and minimally invasive methods of pilonidal disease treatment used both in our country and abroad. Analysis of literature data showed a great variability of surgical approaches in the treatment of this pathology. As a result of this situation, a unified approach to the surgical tactics of treating the epithelial coccygeal passage has not yet been determined. The accumulated experience of using surgical laser technologies in the treatment of pilonidal disease has proven itself positively. The main advantage of interstitial laser thermotherapy of pilonidal cysts is minimal tissue trauma, leading to a decrease in the duration and severity of pain syndrome, a decrease in the period of disability, a good cosmetic result in comparison with traditional methods of surgery.
