Pilonidal Sinus – Stork Hospital, Hyderabad
Advanced, Minimally Invasive Care for Pilonidal Sinus
Expert proctology solutions featuring laser-assisted sinus surgery and flap closure to eliminate recurrent infections and ensure rapid healing.
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or tract that forms under the skin near the cleft of the buttocks, often containing hair, debris, and skin fragments. Over time, it can become infected, causing pain, swelling, redness, and discharge of pus or blood. The condition is more common in young adults, people with thick body hair, and those who sit for prolonged periods. At Stork Multispecialty Hospital, Hyderabad, our experienced surgeons provide precise diagnosis and modern, minimally invasive treatments for pilonidal sinus to ensure quick healing, minimal discomfort, and a low recurrence rate.
