Pilonidal Sinus (Laser)

Minimally invasive surgery without stitches

LASER Surgery.

 

Purpose:

To use a technique without stitches, with less pain, and with faster recovery faster.

What it can treat: 
Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus, simple or with secondary orifices and tracts (complex)

Pilonidal Sinus 

The pilonidal sinus arises from the ingrowth of hair in the sacrococcygeal region. Forms a cavity with hair and skin debris with one (or several) primary openings in the natal cleft. Secondary tracts and orifices can form, usually after an acute infection, which makes treatment difficult. 

Classic surgery involves en-bloc resection, but laser treatment (SiLaC) offers a less painful treatment with a faster recovery.

PILONIDAL SINUS (LASER)
When do I have to undergo surgery?

Without an acute infection

IN NON-ACUTE PHASE

The pilonidal sinus can become infected, causing acute, intense pain from the accumulation of pus. At this stage, treatment includes drainage and antibiotics. Definitive treatment should be offered when there is no infection (before or after).

Does LASER have advantages?
Yes

SiLaC (LASER) vs EN-BLOC RESECTION

The SiLaC (Sinus Laser-Assisted Closure) procedure makes it possible to treat the sinus in a quicker way, with less pain, and without stitches. The classic surgery removes the entire disease en-bloc, but with the  risk of surgical wound dehiscence.

Can my sinus be treated with LASER?
It can be the first option.

EVEN COMPLEX SINUS

The SiLaC (Laser) technique makes it possible to treat pilonidal sinus with secondary tracts and orifices, whereas classic surgery would implicate extended resections with a high risk of dehiscence or even secondary healing. The SiLaC procedure can therefore be the first option.

Hospital length of stay
One night

ONE NIGHT IS SAFER

Tailored to each patient, the SiLaC procedure can be applied on an outpatient basis.  However, staying overnight in the hospital allows for better surveillance.
