-FiLaC (Fistula-tract Laser Closure) – A cutting-edge approach for treating complex anal fistulas while preserving sphincter function and minimizing morbidity.
-SiLaC (Sinus Laser Closure) – An innovative, minimally invasive procedure for pilonidal sinus disease, offering faster healing, less pain, and quicker return to normal activities.
