Pilonidal Sinus Procedures
Our verified specialists in Bangalore offer the full range of surgical and non-surgical options for pilonidal sinus.
Laser Treatment (SiLaC)
Sinus Laser Closure (SiLaC) uses a radial-emitting laser fiber to destroy the pilonidal sinus tract from within, preserving surrounding healthy tissue. This minimally invasive technique requires no large incision, causes minimal pain, and allows return to work within 3-5 days — a significant improvement over traditional open surgery. Dr. Adarsh provides this care at Apollo Clinic, Indiranagar, Bengaluru.
Limberg Flap
The Limberg rhomboid flap is a reconstructive technique for complex or recurrent pilonidal sinuses. After complete excision of the diseased tissue, a rhomboid-shaped skin flap is rotated to fill the defect, flattening the natal cleft to prevent recurrence. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bangalore, achieves recurrence rates below 5 percent with this technique.
Karydakis Procedure
The Karydakis asymmetric closure technique involves excising the pilonidal sinus and closing the wound off-midline, effectively flattening the natal cleft and eliminating the environment that promotes recurrence. This procedure offers excellent healing rates and is Dr. Adarsh, based in Bangalore,'s preferred technique for primary pilonidal disease.
EPSiT
Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment (EPSiT) uses a fistuloscope to visualize and destroy the sinus tract under direct vision. Hair, debris, and granulation tissue are removed endoscopically, and the tract is ablated. This video-assisted technique offers the advantage of complete visualization with minimal tissue destruction. For patients in Bangalore seeking expert surgical care, Dr. Adarsh offers comprehensive treatment options.
