Pilonidal Sinus Surgery at Radhika Women's Care
A pilonidal sinus is a small hole or tunnel that forms in the skin, usually near the tailbone, which can become infected and filled with pus, hair, and debris. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and repeated abscesses if left untreated. At Radhika Women’s Care, we offer advanced and effective laser surgery for pilonidal sinus, providing a safe, scar-minimizing solution with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
Our minimally invasive laser procedure ensures precise removal of the sinus tract, promotes better healing, and significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. The surgery is typically done as a daycare procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day.
With a focus on patient comfort, hygiene, and long-term results, our experienced surgical team ensures personalized care for every individual in a clean and supportive environment.

FAQ

Is laser surgery better than open surgery for pilonidal sinus?
Yes. Laser surgery is less painful, has a shorter recovery time, minimal scarring, and a much lower risk of recurrence.
Will I need general anesthesia?
No. Laser surgery is typically done under local or spinal anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience.
How soon can I return to work after surgery?
Most patients can return to desk jobs within 2–3 days. Strenuous activity may require a longer break.
Can the sinus come back after surgery?
Laser surgery significantly reduces the chances of recurrence, especially when proper hygiene and hair removal are maintained.
