Dr Parthasarathy is one of the leading surgeons for pilonidal sinus treatment in Hyderabad. He has performed hundreds of laser surgeries for pilonidal sinus successfully in a career spanning over 15 years. Our advanced laser treatment for pilonidal sinus is painless, has. No blood loss, offers shorter recovery period and the chances of recurrence of pilonidal sinus is low.
Pilonidal sinus is a very common condition which we encounter in young people. Generally these patients come with complaints of a small boil or swelling in the lower back or in the upper part of the buttocks which ruptures releasing some blood and some pus and dries away but again comes back after three or four months and this process keeps repeating. Initially many people ignore this thinking it’s a small skin boil and once it starts coming repeatedly then their attention is drawn to that.
A Pilonidal Sinus is actually a tunnel which goes from the skin to deep down into the tissue. At the end of the tunnel, usually you find a small tuft of hair. The hair on the back which usually sheds naturally gets sucked into the skin pores of the buttocks and when this hair gets trapped there, it creates a sort of inflammation under itself and starts tunnelling down. Many times because of the dirt and the other debris this becomes infected and the infected material find its way back to the skin and ruptures giving the patient pain and pus discharge.
This problem is generally treated with the help of antibiotics but that is not a permanent cure for the sinus because the tunnel is very deep into the skin. The permanent solution is surgically removing the sinus from the skin level deep down into the tissue to the end of the tunnel where the tough hair which is like the seed of the infection lies. And once the entire sinus is removed then this problem is cured permanently. Traditionally this involves a very major operation whereby a large amount of skin is removed along with a deep tissue which leaves a large defect in the lower back and this defect is either covered by directly suturing it or by means of creation of a flap which is rotated by a plastic surgery method and the gap is covered.
Recently there has been a large interest in the use of laser technology for the treatment of pilonidal sinus where without creating a large wound or the need for a flap, the entire sinus is first cleaned and then a laser beam is passed into the sinus and the entire tract is destroyed with the help of a radial laser fibre. The advantage of this procedure is the patient can avoid a large wound and long recovery time and generally this patients can go back home the next day after the procedure.
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel that forms under the skin, usually in the upper buttock area near the tailbone. It often contains hair and debris, which can lead to repeated infections, causing boils, pus discharge and sometimes bleeding.
It usually develops when loose hair penetrates the skin and gets trapped. This triggers inflammation and infection, leading to the formation of a tunnel under the skin. Over time, pus may build up and drain out, but the underlying tract remains, causing the problem to repeat.
Antibiotics can temporarily reduce the infection, but they don’t remove the root cause of the sinus tract and trapped hair. As long as this “seed” remains, the infection can come back again and again. That’s why complete removal of the tract is necessary for a long-term solution.
Laser treatment is a minimally invasive option. The sinus is first cleaned and then a radial laser fiber is used to destroy the entire tract from within. This method avoids large cuts, stitches and significant bleeding, allowing faster healing and quicker return to normal activities.
Dr. Parthasarathy is experienced in performing laser treatment for pilonidal sinus. This approach removes the sinus tract effectively with minimal discomfort, faster recovery and a lower chance of recurrence.
