Comparing pilonidal sinus surgeries in children
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares different surgical techniques used to treat pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel or pit in the skin near the tailbone) in children and teens. If you had surgery for this condition at CHU Angers when you were under 18, the researchers want to review your records to see which technique worked best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were under 18 years old at the time of your surgery.
- Your surgery for pilonidal sinus was done between January 1, 2015 and March 31, 2025.
- The surgery was performed at CHU Angers (in the pediatric or visceral surgery department).
- You must NOT have had an emergency incision and drainage of a pilonidal abscess.
- Your first surgery for this condition must have been at CHU Angers (not started at another hospital).

This trial tests a surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus, a small hole or tunnel in the skin near the tailbone, in children and teens aged 12 to 17 who have the condition for the first time. It aims to help heal and prevent the problem from coming back.
This trial tests three different surgical methods for pilonidal sinus in women to see which one works best. If you have this condition with 3 or fewer openings and have not had surgery before, this study may be a good fit.
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 compares two minimally invasive treatments (SILAC and phenol) for pilonidal sinus disease, a skin condition that can cause small tunnels or cysts near the tailbone. The goal is to see which option works better with less recovery time.
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 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.
