Laser treatment of pilonidal disease
How the SiLaC® Method Works
The procedure involves the use of a radial-emitting laser fiber, which is gently inserted into the cleaned sinus tract. Controlled laser energy is then delivered to:
-
Destroy the epithelial lining of the sinus.
-
Seal off the sinus tract, and
-
Promote healing from the inside out.
This leads to the gradual closure of the sinus cavity, reducing the risk of recurrence and promoting natural tissue regeneration.

Who is a candidate for SiLaC®?
SiLaC® is suitable for most patients with chronic or recurrent pilonidal sinus, especially those looking for a less traumatic alternative to traditional surgery. A thorough consultation with a qualified coloproctologist is essential to determine eligibility.
