What this Trial Is About
This study compares two treatment approaches for pilonidal sinus disease: laser treatment alone versus laser treatment combined with phenol application. Pilonidal sinus is a common condition that affects young adults and can cause significant discomfort and time off work. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either laser treatment only (Group A) or laser treatment plus phenol application (Group B). Both treatments are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia as day surgery procedures. The main goal is to determine if adding phenol to laser treatment speeds up the healing process (epithelialization) and improves patient outcomes. We will measure healing time, pain levels, return to daily activities, and quality of life over a 3-month follow-up period. This research may help develop more effective treatment protocols that reduce healing time and improve patient comfort for people with pilonidal sinus disease.
