What is Pilonidal Sinus Treatment?
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cyst that forms in the skin near the tailbone, often containing hair and debris, leading to pain, swelling, or infection. Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical intervention, including minimally invasive and laser-assisted techniques. Dr. Abhishek Saxena specializes in advanced surgical options for effective pilonidal sinus treatment.
Common indications for treatment include:
- Recurrent pain or swelling near the tailbone
- Pus or blood discharge from the sinus
- Chronic or recurrent infections
- Persistent cysts not responding to non-surgical treatment
At Dr. Abhishek Saxena’s Clinic in Bareilly, we offer advanced laser and minimally invasive treatments for pilonidal sinus.
Pilonidal Sinus Treatment Procedures
Dr. Abhishek Saxena performs Pilonidal Sinus Treatment using state-of-the-art laser and minimally invasive techniques. Common procedures include:
- Laser Pilonidal Sinus Surgery:
- Uses laser energy to clean and close the sinus tract.
- Minimally invasive with small incisions or no external cuts.
- Excision and Primary Closure:
- Removes the sinus and closes the wound with stitches.
- Suitable for smaller or less complex sinuses.
- Flap Procedures (e.g., Bascom or Karydakis):
- Excises the sinus and reconstructs the area with tissue flaps.
- Ideal for complex or recurrent cases.
Benefits of Laser and Minimally Invasive Treatment:
- Minimal or no incisions, reducing scarring
- Faster recovery (often same-day discharge)
- Lower recurrence rates (as low as 5-10% with laser techniques)
- Reduced post-operative pain and infection risk
Dr. Saxena’s expertise ensures precise and tailored treatment for patients in Bareilly.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective pilonidal sinus treatment. Dr. Saxena uses the following methods:
- Physical Examination: To identify the sinus, abscess, or discharge.
- Ultrasound or MRI: To assess the depth and extent of the sinus tract (in complex cases).
- Clinical History: To evaluate recurrence or infection patterns.
These methods help determine whether laser treatment is suitable or if conservative measures should be tried first.
