Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
"Assessment of postoperative pain with conventional and tumescent local anesthesia in the laser treatment of pilonidal sinus." The aim of this study is to: examine the possible difference in postoperative pain between two local anesthesia procedures after laser treatment of pilonidal sinus disease on the first and second postoperative day, as well as one week after surgery. During the procedure, two well-established anesthesia techniques are used to make the surgical area painless. The first is local anesthesia, in which the anesthetic is injected into and under the skin. The second procedure is tumescent anesthesia. In this procedure, the anesthetic in diluted form is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue. Both procedures are used in surgery and are standard methods of local anesthesia.
