Treatment

Pilonidal Sinus Surgery is a minor procedure that can be performed in your doctor's office. The doctor will first desensitize the area with an injection. The pilonidal sinus will be removed through a small incision made by the doctors. After surgery, your doctor may advise you to leave the surgical wound open and packed with dressing to allow it to heal from the inside out. In some cases, doctors must close the wound with stitches because healing is particularly difficult in this case.
