# Pilonidal Sinus Disease

**Official Title:** LASER ABLATION VERSUS KARYDAKIS TECHNIQUE IN THE TREATMENT OF PILONIDAL SINUS DISEASE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

**NCT ID:** [NCT06508086](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06508086)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 30
- **Lead Sponsor:** Sohag University
- **Conditions:** Pilonidal Sinus
- **Start Date:** 2024-06-10
- **Completion Date:** 2025-06-01
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2024-07-18

## Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of Karydakis technique versus sinus tract ablation procedure using 1470 nm Diode laser for the treatment of pilonidal sinus and provide evidence-based guidance to select the most appropriate operative procedure.

## Eligibility

- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* All patients with a clinical diagnosis of symptomatic uncomplicated pilonidal sinus, males or females, any age will be included in our study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with pilonidal abscess and any associated acute condition.
* Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa.
* Refusal.
* Unfit for surgery.
* Recurrence.
```

## Arms

- **group (A) LASER ABLATION** (ACTIVE_COMPARATOR)
- **group (B) KARYDAKIS TECHNIQUE** (ACTIVE_COMPARATOR)

## Interventions

- **laser ablation technique in the treatment of pilonidal sinus** (PROCEDURE) — group (A) will include patients with pilonidal sinus disease who will be operated by sinus tract ablation procedure using 1470 nm Diode laser
- **Karydakis technique in the treatment of pilonidal sinus** (PROCEDURE) — group (B) will include patients with pilonidal sinus disease who will be operated by Karydakis technique

## Primary Outcomes

- **recurrence rate in the treatment of pilonidal disease** _(time frame: 6 months after the operation)_ — the patients undergo follow up at the outpatient clinic for manifestations of recurrence eg. discharge, multiple pits
