Intraoperative Wound Irrigation for Pilonidal Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The purpose of this study is to determine the best method for cleaning wounds during surgery for patients with Stage 3 pilonidal disease. The investigators will compare the standard wound cleaning solution, saline, with a different solution called hypochlorous acid (Vashe, Urgo Medical) to see which one helps wounds heal faster after surgery.
