Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
Advanced Minimally Invasive Treatment for Pilonidal Sinus
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity that develops in the skin, usually near the tailbone at the top of the buttock crease. It often contains hair, dead skin, and debris, which can become infected, causing pain, swelling, and pus discharge. If left untreated, it may lead to recurrent infections and abscess formation.
At Delhi Advance Laparoscopic Centre, Dr. Akash Dua offers advanced surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus using modern techniques that promote faster healing, reduce discomfort, and minimize the risk of recurrence.
What Is a Pilonidal Sinus?
A pilonidal sinus is a chronic skin condition that commonly affects young adults. It usually develops when loose hair penetrates the skin, causing inflammation and infection. Factors such as prolonged sitting, excessive body hair, obesity, and friction increase the risk of developing this condition.
Common Symptoms
- Pain or tenderness near the tailbone
- Swelling or redness in the affected area
- Pus or blood-stained discharge
- A small opening or pit in the skin
- Foul-smelling drainage
- Recurrent boils or abscesses
- Fever in cases of severe infection
When Is Surgery Recommended?
Surgery may be advised if you have:
- Recurrent pilonidal sinus infections
- Persistent pain or swelling
- Continuous pus or blood discharge
- Pilonidal abscess formation
- A chronic sinus that does not heal with medications
Early surgical treatment helps prevent repeated infections and promotes complete healing.
