Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

A pilonidal sinus is a chronic inflammation that most often occurs in the area between the gluteal regions, near the tailbone.

This condition usually arises from ingrown hairs, sweating, and friction, leading to the formation of a cyst, infection, and pus-filled channels.

At Medical Time hospital in Belgrade, we perform pilonidal sinus surgery using modern surgical methods that guarantee a permanent solution to the problem with minimal risk of recurrence.

Our goal is to enable the patient to have a quick recovery and return to daily activities without pain or complications.

Thanks to precise diagnostics and a personalized approach, every intervention is performed with maximum success.

The procedure is short and safe, and in most cases, it does not require a hospital stay longer than a few hours.

Call us and schedule an examination—the solution to this unpleasant problem is faster than you think.

The most common methods include classic surgical excision with leaving the wound open (open method) or with suturing the wound (closed method).

In some cases, a minimally invasive technique is used—sinusectomy or the use of a laser probe.

The choice of method depends on the stage of the disease, the presence of complications, and the patient's medical history.

Our surgical team decides on the most adequate approach that provides the best long-term results and the lowest risk of recurrence.

Depending on the method, the healing and recovery time can vary significantly.

Modern approaches allow for greater precision and reduce postoperative discomfort.

Patients receive a personalized recommendation after an examination and analysis of the findings.

The risk of a pilonidal sinus returning exists if the wound is not maintained properly or if there are predisposing factors.

This includes poor hygiene, obesity, increased sweating, and dense hair in the sacral area.

Regular shaving, the use of antiseptics, and wearing comfortable clothing help in prevention.

At Medical Time, we educate patients on how to reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery.

Proper education and postoperative support are an important part of the healing process.

Preventive measures also include follow-up examinations in the months after the intervention.

Our goal is for every patient to achieve a long-term result without recurring infections.
