Method A study. Long‐term follow‐up 62 patients disease was analysed (36 operated using technique and 26 EPSiT method). The median 27 months (12–44). Results operating time in group 60 min (25–80 min) 67 (35–95 min). In group, primary healing achieved 22 out (84.6%) 42 days total complication rate 11.5%. There were seven recurrences after initial healing. success procedure long‐term 57.7%. all healed (100%) 21 days. this 26.5%, there two group. 94.1%.
