International Society of Laser Proctology Position Paper on SiLaC and EPSiT/SiLaC in the Management of Pilonidal Sinus Disease

Minimally invasive treatment of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) via sinus tract laser closure (SiLaC) and endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSiT) is being increasingly employed to manage PSD. Despite its wide adoption amongst colorectal surgeons in many nations, there still exists a wide heterogeneity in surgical technique. The International Society of Laser Proctology (ISoLP) was created by experts in laser proctology has the goal of improving laser-based interventions in coloproctology with the aim of improving patient care in this specialized area.
