Treatment Options for Pilonidal Sinus

Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition. The right option will be recommended after a detailed evaluation by our specialist.

1. Medication

Antipyretics and analgesics to deal with fever and pain.

Antibiotics may be prescribed when indicated to treat infection.

2. Incision and Drainage

If a large abscess is present, the surgeon makes a small cut to drain the pus. The wound is then dressed.

3. Phenol Injections

A specialist may use phenol treatment in selected cases to help treat the sinus tract. The procedure and suitability depend on individual assessment.

Surgical Treatment Options

Surgery may be recommended for recurrent or complex cases. We offer advanced and minimally invasive techniques based on individual evaluation.

Excision of the Sinus (Open Surgery)

  • The sinus and affected surrounding tissue are surgically removed.
  • The wound is left open to heal naturally.
  • Healing may take several weeks, depending on wound size and care.
  • Requires regular wound care and follow-up.

Excision with Closure

  • The affected sinus tissue is removed and the wound is closed with stitches.
  • In selected cases, an off-midline closure technique may be recommended.
  • Stitch removal depends on the surgical technique and healing progress.
  • Healing may be quicker than open surgery, but complications such as wound infection or separation can occur.

Laser Treatment

  • A minimally invasive treatment option for selected patients.
  • The sinus tract is cleaned and laser energy is delivered inside the tract.
  • Usually involves smaller openings rather than a large surgical incision.
  • May allow less postoperative discomfort and a faster return to daily activities.

Complications

  • ✚ Recurrent infections
  • ✚ Abscess formation
  • ✚ Multiple sinus tracts
  • ✚ Rarely, chronic infection spreading to nearby tissue

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a collection of fluid around a testicle inside the scrotum. It usually causes painless swelling and may affect one or both sides. Hydroceles can occur in infants as well as adults.
What are the causes of hydrocele?
Hydroceles in infants often occur when a passage between the abdomen and scrotum does not close completely. In adults, hydroceles may develop following injury, inflammation, or infection. Sometimes no specific cause is identified.
What are the symptoms of hydrocele?
The most common symptom is painless swelling of the scrotum. Some patients may experience heaviness, discomfort, or swelling that changes in size. Sudden or severe testicular pain requires urgent medical evaluation.
How is hydrocele treated?
Treatment depends on the patient's age, symptoms, and hydrocele size. Some hydroceles in infants resolve without treatment. Persistent or symptomatic hydroceles may require hydrocelectomy. Aspiration or sclerotherapy may be considered in selected adults after specialist evaluation.
How long does recovery take after surgery?
Many patients can gradually resume light activities within a few days, while swelling and discomfort may take several weeks to settle. Full recovery varies depending on the procedure and individual healing. Follow your surgeon's advice about work, exercise, and other activities.
