Pilonidal Sinus Treatment in Pune

What is a Pilonidal Sinus?

A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity that develops under the skin near the tailbone, typically filled with hair, debris, or pus. It can cause redness, pain, and recurrent infections. If not treated early, the condition can become chronic, leading to abscess formation and persistent discharge.

Common Symptoms

  • Pain or swelling near the tailbone
  • Discharge of pus or blood
  • Tenderness while sitting or walking
  • Fever during infection episodes
  • Recurrent inflammation

Advanced Pilonidal Sinus Treatment Options in Pune

1. Laser Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
Laser-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive method that uses focused light energy to remove the sinus tract and disinfect the affected tissue. The benefits include:

  • Minimal pain and blood loss
  • Quick recovery and faster healing
  • Reduced risk of recurrence
  • Short hospital stay

2. Excision and Primary Closure
For more severe or recurrent cases, the sinus tract is surgically removed, and the wound is closed using advanced surgical techniques that promote faster healing and prevent infection.

3. Minimally Invasive Pilonidal Sinus Procedure (MIPS)
This technique involves cleaning the sinus cavity through small incisions without extensive tissue removal, ensuring a comfortable and quick recovery for patients.
