Pilonidal Sinus Surgery is a procedure aimed at treating an infected or painful pilonidal cyst, which typically occurs near the tailbone. The cyst can become filled with hair and debris, leading to infection or abscess formation. In the surgery, the surgeon removes the cyst, any debris, and may also excise some surrounding tissue to prevent recurrence.

The procedure can be done either through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques. The choice depends on the size of the cyst and its complexity. Postoperative care includes wound care and keeping the area clean to prevent infection. Patients may need to avoid sitting for prolonged periods to ensure proper healing.

In some cases, a flap of skin may be used to close the wound, or the wound may be left open to heal from the inside out. A follow-up visit is required to monitor for any complications or signs of recurrence.

Pilonidal sinus surgery is highly effective for treating this condition, providing lasting relief from symptoms and preventing future flare-ups.
