Laser vs. Surgery for Pilonidal Cyst Treatment Cost Study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares laser treatment and traditional surgery for pilonidal cysts (a common skin condition near the tailbone). It looks at which approach works better and costs less, to help doctors choose the best option for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 79 years old
- You have a pilonidal cyst that is not infected or abscessed and needs removal
- You are healthy enough to have surgery and anesthesia
- You do not need emergency surgery right now
- You have health insurance or government health coverage
- You can provide informed written consent before any study procedures

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a radiofrequency (heat-based) treatment to safely and effectively treat pilonidal sinus disease—a condition where an infected cavity forms near the tailbone. Researchers will check if this non-surgical approach reduces infection, works well, and keeps patients satisfied over 6 months.
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 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 compares laser treatment to crystallized phenol for a common skin condition called pilonidal sinus. Both are minimally invasive options that may help avoid surgery.
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.
