Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cyst that develops in the cleft at the top of the buttocks, often containing hair and debris. It frequently becomes infected, causing pain and discharge. Dr. Bhavin Baria provides effective pilonidal sinus surgery in Ahmedabad.
Modern surgical techniques remove the infected sinus completely while promoting fast healing and minimizing the chance of recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients experience mild to moderate pain after surgery, which is manageable with prescribed medication. Minimally invasive or laser techniques usually cause less discomfort compared to conventional excision.
Recovery depends on the type of surgery. Minimally invasive or laser surgery often allows a return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks, while conventional excision may take 3–4 weeks.
Recurrence is possible, especially if hair regrowth, poor hygiene, or friction persists. Following post-operative care instructions, maintaining hygiene, and attending regular follow-ups reduce the risk.
Laser surgery offers:
- Smaller incision and minimal scarring
- Faster healing and reduced downtime
- Less post-operative pain
- Lower risk of infection and recurrence
You should consult a surgeon if you notice persistent pain or swelling near the tailbone, recurrent abscesses or discharge, or difficulty sitting and performing daily activities due to discomfort.
