What Is Pilonidal Surgery?
Pilonidal surgery is a procedure to remove a pilonidal cyst, a sac filled with hair and debris that typically forms near the tailbone. If left untreated, these cysts can become infected, causing pain, swelling, and recurrent abscesses. Our clinic offers minimally invasive and surgical excision techniques to provide lasting relief and prevent complications.
Key Benefits of Pilonidal Surgery:
- Minimally Invasive Options – Less pain, faster healing, and reduced scarring.
- Prevents Recurrence – Removes the entire cyst to reduce the risk of future infections.
- Quick Recovery – Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks.
- Expert Surgical Care – Ensuring precise and effective treatment for long-term relief.
