Very rarely, if the tunnel appears too deep, a CT or MRI may be performed to determine its depth and extent.

Once a sinus tract closes completely, it generally does not recur again. The success rate of laser pilonidal sinus surgery is over 75%, and in rare cases, if the patient doesn’t take proper care of themselves or if the sinus is not closed properly, it can recur and open again.
Most people can live with a pilonidal sinus without any treatment. However, if the sinus gets infected, it can lead to intense pain and discomfort and lead to disruption of lifestyle. Once the sinus gets infected, it is best to get treated right away. It can also lead to high fever, blood and pus discharge, foul odor from the wound, etc.
While pilonidal sinus surgery is generally very safe, occasionally, it can lead to risks like uncontrolled pain and bleeding, infection, and foul pus discharge. Another complication of the surgery is a failure to completely close the sinus leading to recurrence of the issue.
