A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel in the skin at the top of the buttocks where they separate. It can become infected, painful and recurrent. Laser pilonidal sinus surgery (SiLaC) is a minimally invasive option with excellent cosmetic results and low recurrence.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, consult a specialist promptly:
Understanding the underlying causes helps in prevention and treatment:
In SiLaC, after a thorough cleaning of the sinus tract, a laser fibre is inserted and slowly withdrawn — the laser energy destroys the sinus tract from within. The skin opening heals naturally in days.
No large wound or open dressing
Daycare procedure
Excellent cosmetic outcome
Return to work in 2–4 days
Low recurrence rate
Minimal scarring
Daily wound care for the first week. Patients can sit (on a soft cushion) within a day or two. Hair removal in the area is recommended long-term to prevent recurrence.
