Pilonidal Sinus Surgery in Thane – Quick, Safe & Scar-Free Recovery
A pilonidal sinus can be an uncomfortable and often embarrassing problem. It usually starts as a small cyst or abscess near the tailbone (lower back), but over time it can become infected, painful, and even start oozing pus or blood. Sitting, walking, or bending might become difficult, and the infection may keep coming back if not treated properly.
The good news? You don’t have to live with it anymore. At Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic in Thane, we offer advanced, minimally invasive pilonidal sinus surgery designed for fast healing, minimal pain, and almost no visible scar.

What Is a Pilonidal Sinus?
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity under the skin near the tailbone that often contains hair and debris. It can become infected and form an abscess — leading to swelling, redness, pain, and discharge.
While it’s more common in young men, anyone who sits for long hours (such as drivers, students, or office workers) can develop this condition. If left untreated, it can keep recurring and turn into a chronic infection.
Common Causes & Risk Factors
✅ Sitting for long durations (desk jobs, driving)
✅ Excess body hair or friction near the lower back
✅ Poor hygiene or excessive sweating
✅ Family history or previous skin infections
✅ Repeated minor injuries in the tailbone area
Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
⚠️ See a doctor immediately if you notice:
- Swelling or lump near the tailbone
- Pain while sitting or bending
- Redness and warmth in the lower back area
- Pus or bloody discharge
- Recurrent infections or bad odor
Delaying treatment can cause the infection to spread deeper, forming multiple sinus tracts and making surgery more complex later.
Why Surgery Is the Permanent Solution
Once a pilonidal sinus forms, it doesn’t heal permanently with medicines or home remedies. Antibiotics may control infection temporarily, but the sinus tract needs to be surgically removed or cleaned for complete cure.
Benefits of Surgery:
✅ Permanent removal of sinus and infection
✅ Quick recovery with minimal pain
✅ Minimal recurrence chances
✅ Better hygiene and comfort after healing
Modern Pilonidal Sinus Surgery at Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic
At Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic, we use advanced techniques like Laser Pilonidal Sinus Surgery and Minimally Invasive Excision for best results.
During the procedure:
- The infected sinus tracts are gently removed or cleaned using laser
- The wound is disinfected and often closed with minimal sutures or left to heal naturally
- Performed under local or short general anesthesia
🕒 Surgery Duration: 30–45 minutes
💉 Anesthesia: Local or General (as needed)
🏥 Hospital Stay: Daycare or one-night observation
⏱️ Recovery Time: 5–7 days
Patients usually return to work within a week with simple wound care instructions.
Recovery, Results & Care Tips
💡 Most patients feel comfortable walking and sitting normally within a few days.
Post-surgery care includes:
- Keeping the area clean and dry
- Avoiding long sitting for a few days
- Shaving or laser hair removal (if advised)
- Following proper dressing and hygiene routine
Full healing may take 2–3 weeks depending on the depth of the sinus, but recurrence is extremely rare with proper technique and care.
