Comparing two local anesthesia methods for pain after laser treatment of pilonidal sinus

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, randomized comparison of conventional local anesthesia (2% lidocaine infiltration) versus tumescent local anesthesia given during SiLaC (sinus laser-assisted closure) for pilonidal sinus disease. Pain scores will be recorded on postoperative day 1, day 2, and at one week, along with analgesic use and clinical follow-up. Adults with primary pilonidal sinus scheduled for laser ablation and able to give informed consent will be enrolled at General County Hospital Požega. Patients with recurrent disease, chronic pain syndrome, or other exclusions will be omitted to keep the comparison focused on primary cases.
