Pilonidal sinus is a condition that affects many individuals but is often misunderstood or overlooked. It can cause significant discomfort and recurring infections, impacting the quality of life.

S., a renowned surgeon specializing in pilonidal sinus treatments, offers advanced solutions such as laser treatment and the Limberg flap procedure with nearly 0% recurrence rates.

What is a Pilonidal Sinus?

A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small, abnormal tract or cavity that forms near the tailbone, typically between the buttocks. It often contains hair, debris, and skin cells, leading to infection and the formation of painful abscesses. This condition is more common in young adults and people with sedentary lifestyles, prolonged sitting, or excessive body hair.

Causes of Pilonidal Sinus

  • Ingrown hairs

  • Friction or pressure from prolonged sitting

  • Poor hygiene

  • Family history of pilonidal sinus

  • Obesity

Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus
