Traditionally, deroofing and wide excision represented commonly employed surgical techniques. Due to the recurrent nature of HS, tissue preservation should be a relevant aspect of surgical management. The aim of this manuscript is to demonstrate the use of a diode laser for the management of different stages of HS, paying attention to tissue preservation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a technical manuscript demonstrating our technique for laser\u2013assisted management of HS. A diode laser with a wavelength of 1470\u00a0nm was used for this indication. The depth of the sinus\/tract dictates the amount of energy required. Our preference is to use 8 Watts for deep lesions and 5 Watts for shallow lesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The following 7 critical steps are important to achieve an optimal result with this technique: Drain all collections, minimize tissue damage, protect healthy skin, control risk factors, adopt a multidisciplinary approach, follow up closely, and be patient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Laser-based management of hidradenitis suppurativa is a promising surgical option in the multidisciplinary treatment of this difficult pathology.
