ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new approach to treating complex or recurring pilonidal sinus disease, which is a painful condition that can occur near the tailbone. The researchers want to find out if a specific surgical method called the cleft lift, when combined with a best practice care plan, helps patients heal faster and return to their normal activities sooner than the usual treatment that uses traditional excision techniques.

To participate in this study, you need to be 16 years or older and have been experiencing symptoms of complex or recurring pilonidal sinus disease. You must also be planning to have surgery and be able to give your consent. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it welcomes individuals of any gender. If you join, you can expect to receive care based on the new pathway, which aims to improve your healing process. It’s important to note that pregnant individuals or those who cannot understand Dutch sufficiently will not be able to take part in the study.
