This study tests whether laser hair removal can help prevent pilonidal disease from coming back in people with darker skin. It is designed for teenagers and young adults who have had pilonidal disease but are not currently having a flare-up.
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 trial compares three ways to treat pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone). It looks at which method works best: just removing the pit, using a chemical called phenol, or doing both together.
This study looks at a laser-based surgery called SiLaC for treating pilonidal sinus disease, a common condition that causes painful lumps near the tailbone. The goal is to see how well this laser technique works in people having surgery for this condition.
This trial tests a surgical technique called the Bascom cleft lift to see if it improves healing for people with complex or returning pilonidal sinus disease. It aims to help wounds heal properly without further problems.
This study compares two types of wound cleaning solutions used during surgery for pilonidal disease: an antiseptic called Irrisept (0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate) versus normal saline. The goal is to see if Irrisept helps prevent infection and improve healing after a flap-based closure procedure.
