Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

Overview of Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity in the skin, often located near the tailbone, that can become infected and filled with pus, causing pain and discomfort. Pilonidal sinus surgery involves removing the sinus tract and infected tissue to prevent recurrence. Surgery is recommended when conservative treatments, such as antibiotics and drainage, fail to resolve the condition.
