Pilonidal Sinus Flap Surgery

Pilonidal sinus flap surgery in Jaipur is a medical procedure designed to treat pilonidal sinus, an uncommon skin condition characterized by the formation of a small tunnel or tract in the skin near the tailbone. Ingrown hairs often contribute to this condition and it may lead to abscesses or chronic infections; the surgery aims to remove this tract, promote healing, and avoid future episodes.

Steps Involved In This Procedure: A Pilonidal sinus doctor in Jaipur first makes an incision to expose the pilonidal sinus and any pus or infected tissue associated with it, before carefully excising or removing its canal tract.

• When performing pilonidal sinus flap surgery, a piece of skin and tissue may be used to create a flap covering the area where a sinus was extracted. Usually located close to where the surgery took place, this flap's purpose is to provide adequate tissue coverage to promote optimal healing and ensure complete tissue coverage during recovery.
• Once the sinus has been excised, its wound will be covered with a flap and sutures placed to close it off - this helps promote healing while decreasing risks of infection and the chances of its return.
• In some instances, surgical drains may be installed to help prevent blood or fluid build-up at the surgery site and are typically removed within several days after placement.

Pilonidal sinus surgery involves various flap techniques. Your surgeon will select the ideal approach based on several factors, including the size and location of the sinus, the extent of infection, and his expertise in treating pilonidal sinuses.
