    Diagnosis and Management of Pilonidal Sinus

    Diagnosis

    Pilonidal Sinus diagnosis is performed through a physical examination. The doctor will examine the butt cleft for signs of an open tunnel or cyst. A pilonidal sinus is easily visible as a pimple or oozing cyst, so diagnostic tests are not usually necessary. Very rarely, if the tunnel appears too deep, a CT or MRI may be performed to determine its depth and extent.

    Treatment

    Pilonidal cysts or sinuses can’t be closed or treated medically. While medicines like antibiotics and phenol injections can treat the infection and swelling associated with them, they can’t close the sinus. For effective management of a pilonidal sinus, the doctor performs the following procedure:

    • Step 1 – Drainage: Pilonidal sinuses often accumulate dirt, debris, hair, etc., that cause them to be infected. The doctor drains the cyst and removes infected tissues.
    • Step 2 – Laser ablation: Following drainage, the surgeon uses a laser beam to ablate the sinus and close it. The procedure can be done as open surgery using a knife as well, but laser therapy offers better results since there are no cuts, incisions, or bleeding during laser therapy.
