ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
What is Pilonidal Sinus Surgery?
Pilonidal Sinus Surgery is a specialized procedure performed to treat a pilonidal sinus, a small tunnel or cavity that develops beneath the skin near the tailbone (coccyx). It is commonly caused by ingrown hair, friction, prolonged sitting, or repeated infections. The condition may lead to pain, swelling, redness, recurrent abscesses, and pus discharge. Surgical treatment removes the infected sinus tract and surrounding unhealthy tissue to prevent repeated infections and promote complete healing. Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda provides advanced pilonidal sinus surgery using modern minimally invasive techniques whenever appropriate, ensuring safe treatment, faster recovery, and excellent long-term outcomes.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
How is Pilonidal Sinus Surgery Performed?
Pilonidal sinus surgery is performed under anesthesia by removing the sinus tract and affected tissue, followed by appropriate wound closure or healing techniques.

Preoperative Assessment
Before surgery, Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs a detailed clinical evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and assessment of the extent of the sinus and any active infection. Blood investigations and anesthetic fitness evaluation are carried out when required.

Anesthesia
The procedure is usually performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia, depending on the severity of the disease, the size of the sinus, and the planned surgical technique.

Surgical Procedure
The infected sinus tract, cyst, and surrounding unhealthy tissue are carefully removed while preserving healthy skin and surrounding structures. Depending on the size and complexity of the disease, the wound may be left open to heal naturally or closed using advanced flap techniques that reduce tension and lower the risk of recurrence. Minimally invasive techniques may also be used in selected patients for quicker healing and less postoperative discomfort.

Wound Management
Following removal of the sinus tract, the wound is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate infection and promote healthy healing. Appropriate dressings are applied, and detailed wound care instructions are provided to ensure optimal recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Postoperative Care
Patients receive pain management, wound care guidance, antibiotics when necessary, and advice regarding hygiene, hair removal, and lifestyle modifications. Regular dressing changes and follow-up visits help ensure complete healing and prevent recurrence.
RECOVERY
Recovery After Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
Recovery involves proper wound care, keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding prolonged sitting, prescribed medications, gradual activity, and regular follow-up.
