What is Pilonidal Sinus

A pilonidal sinus is a small hole or tunnel in the skin at the top of the buttocks near the tailbone, where they divide (the cleft). The sinus tract goes in a vertical direction between your buttocks. A pilonidal cyst usually contains hair, dirt, and debris. It can cause severe pain and can often become infected and filled with pus. A pilonidal sinus can go unnoticed unless it becomes infected. 

Pilonidal sinuses are more common in men because they tend to be hairier. Commonly found in teenagers and young adults.

Although the root cause of pilonidal sinus is not clear, there are various factors that contribute to it. But most pilonidal cysts appear to be caused by loose hairs that penetrate the skin. Friction and pressure — skin rubbing against skin, tight clothing, bicycling, long periods of sitting, long riding or similar factors — force the hairs to grow into the skin rather than outward.

Diagnosis

Every year more than 1 million cases of Pilonidal sinus surfaces and patients suffer with the problem of recurrence due to either faulty diagnosis or improper surgery.  Pilonidal sinus requires a medical diagnosis clinical examination and rarely needs any specific laboratory or imaging tests. Our expert  will diagnose a pilonidal cyst by first doing a physical examination.  A pilonidal infection should be visible by the naked eye.

The doctor may see what looks like a pimple or oozing cyst. If infection is severe, blood tests may be performed for diagnosis. Doctor also ask you several questions, including:
•    Whether the cyst or pimple has changed in appearance
•    Whether it is draining fluid
•    Whether you have any other symptoms
Rarely, a CT scan or MRI may be ordered to look for sinus cavities under the surface of the skin

Surgery

Surgery is needed to drain and remove a pilonidal cyst that does not heal. Our doctor may recommend below procedure if you have pilonidal disease that is causing pain or infection. A pilonidal cyst that is not causing symptoms does not need treatment.
Pilonidal Sinus treatment has been revolutionised over the years by arrival of new age ambulatory surgery or Day Care surgery is a clinical admission for a surgical procedure, with discharge of the patient on the same working day. We have a trained anesthesiologist, OT assistant, and nursing assistant do the advanced procedures like Laser and Flap surgeries. 
Dr Sandip Banerjee in many of the lectures that he has given and in his practice believes that there is no need in aggressively removing entire affected tissue up to tail bone bed. In this way the surgical principle of lowering the depth of natal cleft to prevent recurrence is not met. So the best way to remove as much affected tissue with Flap cover (W flap, Z plasty) in non-infected cases which not only reduces down post-operative morbidity but also completely cures the problem with relapses.

Laser Pilonidotomy is a new technique where ablation of the sinus tract is done by using radial laser fiber, one or two or maximum three 1 cm incisions are made to prevent collection of fluid and help efficient drainage, thus allowing faster wound healing with secondary intention with minimal recurrence rate.
Our patients and our surgeon will decide on the best anesthesia to use during the surgery. Choices include:
•    general anesthesia, which puts patients into a deep sleep throughout the surgery
•    Saddle block is a low dose of spinal anesthesia which involves medication that numbs your body from the waist down being delivered by a shot into your back
•    local anesthesia, which numbs only your anus and rectum

Aftercare

•    Patient can expect rectal and anal pain after having pilonidal sinus surgery. So doctor will prescribe a painkiller to ease the discomfort.
•    Patient can help  in his/her own recovery by:
•    Avoid baths until the wound is completely healed. ... Avoid sitting for a long time or sitting on hard surfaces until your incision has healed. 

•    Eat a light diet with extra fluids as tolerated. Eat a well-balanced diet with extra fibre (like vegetables, bran, whole grain, breads to prevent constipation.

Frequently Ask Question

The Most Advanced State Of Art Daycare Surgery Centre In Delhi/NCR.

Are there surgeries that can resolve my constipation?

Surgery is always a last resort. Most constipation can be resolved with diet, lifestyle changes and laxative therapy. Surgery is recommended if you have a slow moving colon that has failed all medical treatments or if you have a structure blocking the way that is causing your constipation. Structures blocking the way of stool moving through the anal canal can also be lifted by strengthening the pelvic floor through physical therapy.

How can physical therapy help constipation?

If the muscles of the pelvic floor are not working properly, then physical therapy (PT) will help to retrain those muscles. We are not used to having to think about muscles of the pelvic floor. PT assists you in connecting the mind and body to enable these muscles to work properly when having a bowel movement. PT can also help with strengthening muscles and to decrease spasm.

What testing is appropriate to evaluate constipation?

There are a variety of tests for constipation offered at the University of Michigan Medical Procedures Unit. Testing may include a colonoscopy, anal-rectal manometrics, the Smart pill wireless motility capsule or defecography. These are specialized tests that evaluate the colon for any structural problems or problems with muscle function that may be contributing to constipation.

Are there different types of constipation?

There are four types of constipation:
*         Diet and Medication Controlled Constipation: The colon moves stool along within 24 -72 hours. The muscles of the pelvic floor move properly. Usually, most people respond to fiber or laxative treatment.
*         Dysynergic Constipation:The muscles of the pelvic floor do not work properly and may even perform the opposite function of what they are supposed to do. Sometimes muscles are in spasm. Patients usually complain of not being able to fully empty or having to use their fingers to pass stool. Dysynergic constipation may be coupled with an outlet obstruction. An outlet obstruction is where a structure such as a rectocele or enterocele is in the way of stool coming out.
*         Slow Transit Constipation: The colon moves slowly, as a result, bowels move very infrequently sometimes only  once every 2-3 weeks.
*         Combined dysynergic and slow transit constipation.
