Popis: The article analyses treatment of 312 patients among which 156 were treated with the use of a CO2 laser and 156 by the traditional method. Study of the results showed that with the use of the CO2 laser the duration of in-patient treatment after radical operation was reduced by 5 days and out-patient rehabilitation by 13 days. the number of postoperative complications reduced considerably, single-stage radical operation could be carried out in the acute period of the disease, an operation for excision of a suppurating cyst could be completed by applying primary sutures with complete closure of the wound in 71.7% of cases, and that a recurrence of the disease could be prevented. Wide introduction of CO2 laser in surgical treatment of epithelial passages and cysts of the coccyx is recommended.
