Clinical Trial Summary

Pilonidal disease is a common painful condition that affects 26 per 100,000 people with an incidence of 1.1% in the young male population. Recurrence rates of pilonidal disease after initial incision and drainage and after resection have been reported to be 16% and 11% respectively. Furthermore, wound issues after resection with primary closure have been reported to be as high as 30%. In several retrospective studies and small prospective studies, laser hair removal has shown promise as an adjunct therapy to decrease recurrent infections and decrease the need for repeat surgery in adults and older adolescents. We are performing a randomized control trial of laser hair depilation plus chemical/mechanical depilation to examine outcomes related to recurrence of pilonidal disease.
