What is Pilonidal Sinus?
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity that develops in the skin near the cleft of the buttocks, just above the tailbone. It usually occurs as a result of hair follicles becoming infected or blocked, leading to the formation of an abscess or sinus tract. Pilonidal sinuses are more common in men and can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, redness, and drainage of pus or blood. Treatment options for pilonidal sinuses include antibiotics to control infection, draining abscesses, and surgical procedures to remove the sinus tracts or excise the affected area, depending on the severity of the condition.

How is Pilonidal Sinus Treated by Surgery? i
1. Incision and Drainage: A small incision is made to drain the abscess or infected fluid, providing immediate relief.

2. Excision and Primary Closure: The sinus and surrounding tissue are completely removed, and the wound is closed with stitches.

3. Excision with Flap Closure: A more extensive procedure where healthy tissue is moved to cover the wound, reducing the risk of recurrence.

The choice of surgical technique depends on the severity and extent of the sinus, and the surgeon's preference and expertise. Post-surgery, proper wound care and hygiene are essential for successful healing.
