What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting an observational study to evaluate the recurrence rate of pilonidal sinus after laser treatment in adult patients who need this procedure. The study focuses on whether a clinical recurrence, defined as the presence of a fistula in the intergluteal cleft, occurs within two years following the laser treatment. This study enrolled patients undergoing surgery as part of their usual medical care for pilonidal sinus, including those with any type or recurrence after previous treatments. Participants included in this study are those requiring laser surgery for pilonidal sinus. The study does not involve additional interventions or randomization but follows patients prospectively to monitor outcomes after their standard laser treatment. Participants will be surveyed at 1 and 2 years post-procedure to assess for recurrence. During the study, participants will complete survey questionnaires about their condition at 1 and 2 years after the laser surgery. Researchers will measure the primary outcome of clinical recurrence at 2 years post-operation. The study is observational and does not involve experimental treatments, focusing on long-term monitoring of recurrence following routine care, with participation expected to last for at least two years.
