What is Pilonidal sinus?

The top of the buttocks, where they separate, has a small hole or tunnel in the skin called a pilonidal sinus (the aperture). It does not always result in symptoms, and only when it becomes infected does it require treatment.

A pilonidal sinus is typically not noticed until it becomes infected and produces symptoms. A pus-filled abscess may form as well as discomfort and swelling brought on by an infection.

At Healing Hands Clinic Mohali, pilonidal sinus is diagnosed early using clinical evaluation to prevent complications.

When is the pilonidal sinus uninfected?

If there are no indications of infection, treatment is not necessary. A "watch and wait" strategy will be advised. It's crucial to routinely take showers or bathe in order to maintain a clean environment between your buttocks. If your doctor doesn't recommend it, don't shave the afflicted region.

Treatment of Pilonidal Sinus

Pilonidal sinus infection is a painful condition that is caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or a sweat gland at the base of the spine. There is a wide range of treatments for pilonidal sinus infections, including antibiotics, surgical treatments, and drainage of the abscess. Antibiotics are used to kill the bacteria that are causing the infection and can be used either as a pill or as an injection. Surgery can be performed to remove any abscesses that may be present, as well as any infected tissue in the area

What causes pilonidal sinus?

It is a medical condition characterised by cysts that form in the upper part of the cleft of the buttocks.

  • Though not much is known about the root causes, experts believe that the development of pilonidal sinus is associated with a person’s lifestyle, genetics, and hygiene.
  • In certain cases, it has been seen that frequent cycling and sitting for long hours on rough surfaces, obesity, and having a lot of body hair can increase the risk of developing pilonidal sinus.
  • Furthermore, genetics could also play a factor as it has been observed that some people may be more prone to developing these cysts.
  • Men tend to have more pilonidal sinuses because of their thicker hair.
  • Long durations of sitting can also raise your risk of developing a pilonidal sinus.
  • Surgical treatment

Other Surgical management

Type of surgical method Method of surgery and Advantages Disadvantages
Wide Excision PILONIDAL SINUS EXPLOSION
  • The skin covering the sinus tract is excised locally and widely by the surgeon during this treatment.
  • With a 10-15% recurrence rate, the surgery is secure.
  • Wound cover takes three months to heal. It is a laborious job to change the dressing every day.
Laser Pilonidoplasty (Lpp)
  • The patient is released after 24 hours and can resume regular employment after 5 days.
  • Recovery is substantially quicker than with a typical
  • Wide excision since wound healing takes roughly 6 to 8 weeks.
  • The rate of recurrence is very low.
  • Fever and chills
Excision With Primary Closure
  • The benefit of this method is that mending occurs more quickly, in 4-6 weeks
  • The infection rate is around 20–25%.
  • Revision surgery is carried out in the event of such an infection, and the site is still left for open recovery.
Z-Plasty
  • When doing a Z-plasty, the surgeon first removes the abscess and sinus before loosening triangle flaps on either side of the midline to fill the cavity, with flap points pointing in the direction of the head and foot.
  • It isn't a preferred method of surgery as the chances of recurring are fast.
Limberg flap/Gluteal flap
  • Patients who have severe Pilonidal illness or disease that affects both buttocks undergo this treatment.
  • In order to create a cavity, the surgeon removes an oval-shaped plug that contains the abscess, skin, and fat.
  • A flap of skin and dense fat from the pelvis beneath and next to the hollow is activated to fill the cavity. The corners of the flap are stitched once it is swung into the middle.
  • The flap surgeries are rather intrusive, and patients must stay in the hospital for a few days following.
  • Additionally, the recuperation period following surgery is lengthy.
  • These operations remove a lot of tissue, which weakens the area and gives the patient few other options if they don't work
