Laser Surgery for Pilonidal Sinus

What is Laser Surgery for Pilonidal Sinus?

Laser surgery for pilonidal sinus is a minimally invasive, non-cutting procedure in which a specialized laser fiber is inserted into the sinus tract. The laser energy destroys infected tissue and seals the tract from inside, promoting faster healing while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.

Pilonidal sinus is a chronic condition in which a small tunnel or cyst develops near the tailbone (upper part of the buttock cleft), often containing hair and infected tissue. It can cause pain, swelling, pus discharge, and recurrent infections. At Narayana’s Hospital, we offer advanced Laser Surgery for Pilonidal Sinus, a modern and minimally invasive treatment that ensures faster healing with minimal discomfort.
