Use of laser therapy in pilonidal cyst

Abstract

Considering that laser therapy has been a favorable modality for wound healing, as it controls signs and symptoms of the inflammatory process, increases the proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis, this study aimed to analyze the contribution of low intensity laser in the treatment for the healing of wound after pilonidal cyst surgery as a therapeutic possibility, by conducting a case study. This research had a satisfactory result and allowed us to confirm the effectiveness of the resource used in the wound healing process, which allows us to conclude the importance of biomodulation in dehiscence after conventional surgical removal of pilonidal cyst, by laser therapy, signaling that it is a new non- invasive for effective and safe treatment, due to its efficient anti-inflammatory and analgesic action, helping in the tissue repair process.
