General Information About Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
Ingrown hairs, medically known as pilonidal sinus, are cysts or sinuses that usually form under the skin in the coccyx area. This condition occurs when hairs that enter the skin cause an infection and an inflamed cyst to form. Although it is more common in young men, everyone is at risk of ingrown hairs. If left untreated, ingrown hairs can cause constant discomfort and recurring infections. In advanced cases, surgical intervention is required.
What are the symptoms of ingrown hair?
Ingrown hair usually manifests itself in the coccyx area with the following symptoms:
Pain and Tenderness: Pain and tenderness may be felt in the coccyx area.
Swelling and Redness: Swelling, redness and increased warmth may occur in the infected area.
Pus or Discharge: When a pilonidal cyst ruptures, pus-like discharge and a foul odor may occur.
Recurrent Infections: If left untreated, pilonidal sinus can recur frequently and may require repeat surgery.
What is Pilonidal Sinus Surgery and Who Can Use It?
Pilonidal sinus surgery involves surgically removing the pilonidal sinus. Surgery is usually performed in the following cases:
Recurrent Infections: If pilonidal sinus causes frequent infections and does not respond to other treatment methods, surgical intervention is necessary.
Large Cysts: Surgery is necessary in cases where the cyst is large and causes serious symptoms such as pain and swelling.
Risk of Complications: If there is a risk of the infection spreading or causing serious complications, surgery is the most appropriate treatment option.
What are the Methods of Pilonidal Sinus Surgery?
There are various surgical methods used for pilonidal sinus surgery:
Open Technique: The infected area is removed and the wound is left open to heal on its own. This method reduces the risk of infection, but the healing time may be longer.
Closed Technique: After the cyst is removed, the wound is stitched. This technique provides a faster healing, but the risk of recurrence of infection is higher.
Laser Treatment: Laser hair removal treatment is a less invasive method and can be used to remove the cyst. This method usually offers less pain and a faster recovery time.
Post-Operative Recovery Process
The recovery process after pilonidal sinus surgery may vary depending on the surgical method chosen and the patient's general health condition. Op.Dr.Çağlar Ertekin offers the following recommendations to his patients during the post-operative period:
Wound Care: Keeping the wound area clean and dry is important to reduce the risk of infection.
Diet: It is recommended to consume fiber-rich foods to prevent constipation and other intestinal problems.
Sitting Position: In the first days after surgery, sitting for long periods of time should be avoided and soft pillows should be used.
