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 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 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 two minor procedures for treating pilonidal disease (small tunnels under the skin near the tailbone). One group gets a laser treatment plus a minor 'pit-picking' procedure, while the other gets just the pit-picking. The goal is to see which approach works better with less pain and faster recovery.
This study looks at factors that may affect wound healing after surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. It aims to help doctors and patients understand what might cause the wound to open up, so they can take steps to prevent it.
This study tests a new way to treat pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel under the skin near the tailbone) that combines special surgery with a drain that you can care for at home. It is for people who cannot easily come back to the hospital for wound care, so they can recover in their own community.
