Pilonidal Cyst Excision Surgery
Where Your Best Self Begins
A pilonidal cyst is a painful, swollen area that typically forms near the tailbone at the top of the buttocks crease. It often contains hair, skin debris, and can become infected, leading to discomfort, drainage, and recurring abscesses. Pilonidal cyst excision is a surgical procedure that removes the cyst and the surrounding infected tissue to prevent future flare-ups.
đź’Š Why Choose Surgery?
If you’ve experienced repeated infections, drainage, or pain, surgery offers a long-term solution. By completely removing the cyst and its tract, excision can reduce the risk of recurrence and improve your comfort and confidence.
🔍 What to Expect
- Outpatient procedure – most patients return home the same day.
- Performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the severity.
- Recovery typically involves a healing period of 2 to 4 weeks, with wound care instructions provided.
- In some cases, the wound is left open to heal naturally to reduce the risk of recurrence.
