Hi lybrate-user.
If it is a pilonidal sinus as mentioned by you. the newly available radial laser technology is best.
But for this surgery the surgeon should have all the accessories to perform the surgery as it has to be performed at many sites over the sinus. So the knowledge of the surgeon is also considered.

Your pilonidal sinus has recurred. It is a well known fact that in appox. 20% cases pilonidal sinus recurs after surgery (open surgery/ z-plasty or laser all have risks of recurrence) however, this problem can be conveniently treated by graded ksharsutra treatment. No hospitalization or bed rest is required in this treatment. You can continue your normal routine activities as usual during treatment.

Pilonidal sinus consists of dirt, hair and debris that penetrates your skin, becomes embedded and thereby causes infection. Once the cyst gets infected, you may see blood or pus oozing out of the channel, which causes severe pain...more

Pilonidal sinus presents itself as a nodular swelling or an opening in lower spinal region. There might be intermittent pus discharge from this swelling. Hairs protruding out from this opening/ swelling may also be seen. Pilonidal Sinus mostly happens to people who have hairy skin. Hairs invade in the skin and become source of infection. As a result pus formation is there which intermittently gets discharged through a tract opening on the skin.

Pilonidal cysts are small swellings that usually develop on top of the cleft of the buttocks. It is a kind of acquired lesion. Sometimes body hairs in folds of skin grow inwards. The presence of a foreign body prods your immune system and that is why an inflammatory reaction follows. Pilonidal cysts may also occur on the webbed region of the hands, axillae and the genitalia.

It is very common among men who sit for long hours at a stretch and are not involved in many physical activities....more
