Pilonidal sinus

Researchers are testing a minimally invasive laser procedure to treat chronic pilonidal sinus, a painful condition near the tailbone. The trial enrolls adults with sinus tracts between 2 and 9 centimeters, excluding those with acute abscesses or prior surgery. During the procedur…

This study compares two treatments for non-abscessed pilonidal cysts: a new laser fiber procedure and traditional surgery. Researchers will track costs, healing time, pain, and recurrence over 12 months in 150 adults. The goal is to see if laser treatment is more cost-effective a…

This study looks back at 90 children treated for pilonidal sinus disease to see which surgical technique works best. The goal is to find the method that leads to the fastest healing and lowest chance of the problem coming back. Results will help doctors choose the best surgery fo…

This study compares two minimally invasive treatments—Silac (laser) and phenol (chemical)—for pilonidal sinus disease, a painful condition that affects young adults. About 200 patients with primary (first-time) disease will be randomly assigned to one treatment and followed for 6…

This study tests a minimally invasive laser technique called SiLaC for treating pilonidal sinus, a painful condition near the tailbone. Forty adults will receive the laser procedure, which aims to destroy the sinus tract and speed up healing. Researchers will track how quickly pa…

This registry study collects real-world data from about 300 adults treated with urinary bladder matrix (UBM) products for various wounds, including pressure ulcers, surgical incisions, and infections like Fournier's gangrene. Researchers track patient characteristics, treatment p…
