Laser treatment for pilonidal sinus study at La Paz Hospital
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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 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.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for pilonidal sinus, a small tunnel under the skin near the tailbone. It aims to find which option works best with less pain and faster recovery.
This study compares two minimally invasive ways to treat a pilonidal sinus (a small hole or tunnel near the tailbone) that hasn't been treated before. You'll get either laser treatment plus a small procedure called pit-picking, or pit-picking alone. The goal is to see which works better with less pain and faster recovery.
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.
