Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
At SlimGutt Clinic, Dr. Md. Umar provides advanced Pilonidal Sinus Surgery — a minimally invasive, precise treatment for pilonidal sinus with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
What Is Pilonidal Sinus?
Pilonidal Sinus is a small tunnel or cavity in the skin near the tailbone, often containing hair, debris, and causing chronic infection or abscess. It can lead to pain, swelling, and discharge, especially while sitting or performing physical activity.
Common Symptoms
- Pain and swelling near the tailbone
- Redness or irritation
- Discharge of pus or blood
- Foul odor from the affected area
- Recurrent infections and abscesses

Surgical intervention is the most effective treatment for pilonidal sinus. At SlimGutt Clinic, we offer:
- Minimal Invasive Excision: Complete removal of the sinus tract using small incisions.

- Flap Surgery: For recurrent or complex cases to prevent recurrence and promote healing.
