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 ways to care for the wound after pilonidal sinus surgery. It aims to find the best method to help you heal faster and avoid the problem coming back.
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 “skin decolonization” routine using medicated skin cleaning to help lower the risk of surgical site infections after abdominal surgery. You may be eligible if you recently had an open abdominal incision and your wound is healing as expected at discharge.
This study tests whether using a special antiseptic wash during hip replacement surgery affects how well the wound heals. It may help doctors choose safer ways to clean the skin before your operation.
