Wound washing during surgery for pilonidal disease
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special way of washing out the wound during surgery to treat pilonidal disease. It aims to help reduce infection or other problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stage 3 pilonidal disease (this is a more advanced form of a skin problem near the tailbone).
- You need surgery for pilonidal disease.
- You can understand and agree to take part in the study.

This study compares operative (surgery) versus non-operative (non-surgery) treatment options for pilonidal disease. It may help find which approach works better for people at Stanford Healthcare.
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.
This trial compares different wound care methods for people having surgery for pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone). It aims to find the best way to help the wound heal after the sinus is removed.
This trial is testing whether a diluted povidone-iodine (a common germ-killer) rinse inside the belly during surgery can prevent infections better than a plain saltwater rinse. It is for adults having abdominal surgery for certain types of wounds.
This trial tests a super-oxidized cleaning solution to see if it reduces infections after emergency surgery for a hole in the intestine. If you are having open belly surgery for an infected gut, this study may help guide safer recovery.
This trial tests if a special rinse (hypochlorous acid) can prevent infections when a man-made blood vessel graft is placed in your belly or leg. The goal is to lower the risk of serious infections after surgery.
