Pilonidal Sinus
Pilonidal sinus disease is a chronic and often recurring condition characterized by the formation of sinus tracts or cysts in the sacrococcygeal region, typically at the base of the spine. The pathology of this disease is closely linked to the penetration of hair follicles into the skin, leading to the development of abscesses, infection, and the creation of sinus passages. The resulting symptoms include pain, swelling, and drainage of pus, impacting patients’ daily lives.
The diagnosis of pilonidal sinus disease involves a thorough clinical examination, taking into account the patient’s symptoms and medical history. Imaging studies, such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may be employed to assess the extent and severity of the disease.
Surgical excision is a primary treatment modality for pilonidal sinus disease. Dr. Ashish Gupta, a distinguished plastic surgeon, employs his expertise in surgical techniques to precisely remove the sinus tracts and infected tissue. This step is crucial to preventing the recurrence of the disease and providing long-term relief for the patient.
Following the excision, flap coverage is often utilized as a reconstructive technique. This involves the transplantation of healthy tissue, usually from adjacent areas, to cover the surgical site. Dr. Gupta’s proficiency in flap procedures enhances wound healing, reduces the risk of complications, and contributes to better cosmetic outcomes. Patient needs removal of hair from lower back and buttocks by regular trimming, shaving or Laser Hair Reduction for prevention of recurrence.
