This study looks at a laser-based surgery called SiLaC for treating pilonidal sinus disease, a common condition that causes painful lumps near the tailbone. The goal is to see how well this laser technique works in people having surgery for this condition.
This study compares two simple, non-surgical treatments for pilonidal sinus, a small tunnel under the skin near the tailbone. Both treatments are injected directly into the sinus to help it heal, and the study aims to see which one works better.
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 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 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 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.
