Blood plasma injection may speed healing after pilonidal cyst surgery
NCT ID NCT07567586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentrated part of your own blood) into the surgical wound helps people recover better after pilonidal sinus surgery. Forty patients with chronic or recurrent pilonidal sinuses took part. The goal was to see if this extra treatment improves wound healing and reduces complications like infection or bleeding.
