Study of bacteria in pilonidal cysts treated with laser
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at the types of bacteria present in pilonidal cysts, especially after treatment with a holmium laser during a planned procedure. It may help doctors better understand infections and how to manage pilonidal cysts more effectively.

This trial tests a laser-based procedure called SiLaC to treat chronic pilonidal sinus disease, a skin infection in the tailbone area. It aims to see if this less invasive method works well for patients.
This study checks how well a pilonidal cyst heals after treatment with a special laser (1940 nm). It looks at your recovery after the surgery to see if the laser helps the wound close properly.
This study looks at how a return of a pilonidal cyst (an infected bump near the tailbone) affects your quality of life. It is for people who had a first treatment with either surgery or laser and now have a recurrence at least 6 months later.
This study looks at how well laser surgery works for pilonidal cysts, including cysts that came back after other treatments. It aims to help doctors understand if laser treatment is a good option.
This study compares laser treatment and traditional surgery for pilonidal cysts (a common skin condition near the tailbone). It looks at which approach works better and costs less, to help doctors choose the best option for future patients.
This trial tests a treatment for pilonidal sinus, a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone that can cause pain and infection. It looks at how well the procedure works for people with symptoms but without complications.
