ABSTRACT
Pilonidal sinus (PS) is one of follicular occlusion tetrad, and this is a chronic inflammatory disease that's characterized by a sinus or cyst with entrapped hair in the midline of the sacral region. The exact pathogenesis of PS remains unknown, but hair insertion may be the essential cause of the disease. PS is usually treated by surgical excision, marsupialization or incision and curettage. However, these surgical options often exhibit high recurrence rate, and especially for hirsute patients. Laser epilation has recently been recommended as an effective postoperative adjunctive therapy for PS and this treatment may reduce recurrence of PS. We report here on a 37-year-old male patient with PS, and the PS was treated by surgical excision and postoperative intense pulsed light (IPL) epilation.
