Laser pilonidal sinus surgery in Vizag & across India. Minimal recurrence, no large wounds, quicker healing.
A pilonidal sinus is a small cyst or abscess that forms at the top of the buttocks crease (natal cleft). It often contains hair and skin debris, and can become infected, leading to painful abscesses with pus discharge. The word 'pilonidal' means 'nest of hair'.
Pilonidal sinuses are more common in young adults, particularly men with thick body hair. Without treatment, they tend to recur repeatedly. SurgiKure's laser pilonidal sinus treatment (Laser Pit Picking + EPSIT) is minimally invasive, has a very low recurrence rate, and allows patients to return to daily activities within days.
A sudden painful swelling filled with pus. Requires urgent drainage followed by definitive surgical treatment.
Persistent sinus tract with intermittent discharge. May have multiple pits. Requires laser or surgical excision.
Sinus that has returned after previous surgery. Requires advanced laser pit-picking technique for durable cure.
Gold standard minimally invasive technique. A laser fibre destroys the sinus tract from inside through the pit openings. No large wound, quick recovery of 3-5 days, and very low recurrence rate under 5%.
The entire sinus tract is surgically removed and the wound is closed with sutures. Effective but longer healing time compared to laser techniques.
A flap of skin is used to close the wound and flatten the natal cleft, reducing recurrence. Best for complex or recurrent sinuses.
Acute abscesses are drained under local anaesthesia to provide immediate pain relief, followed by definitive treatment once the infection settles.
