Pilonidal Surgery

A pilonidal sinus is a small cyst or tunnel in the skin, usually located near the tailbone at the top of the buttocks crease. It often contains hair, dirt, and skin debris, which can lead to infection, pain, and pus discharge. If left untreated, it can become a recurring and uncomfortable condition.

We offer advanced and minimally invasive laser surgery for pilonidal sinus — ensuring faster healing, minimal pain, and a lower chance of recurrence.
