Self-care after pilonidal sinus surgery with a new drain
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel under the skin near the tailbone) that combines special surgery with a drain that you can care for at home. It is for people who cannot easily come back to the hospital for wound care, so they can recover in their own community.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a pilonidal sinus confirmed by a doctor and an MRI.
- You live far from the hospital and cannot return for frequent wound care.
- You are in good overall health (classified as ASA I or II).
