A Pilonidal Sinus is a small cyst or abscess that occurs in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. It can cause pain, swelling, and sometimes an infection. Dr. Rajarshi Mitra has got years of experience treating this condition. He typically begins with a thorough examination to understand the extent of the issue. Depending on the severity, he may recommend a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the sinus. His approach aims to minimize discomfort and promote a quick recovery.

Most of Dr. Rajarshi Mitra’s patients begin to feel better within a couple of weeks after the procedure. However, complete healing can take up to six weeks. He'll guide you through the recovery process, offering advice on how to care for the surgical site and manage any discomfort. It's vital to follow his instructions closely to ensure the best possible outcome.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks involved, but these are minimal. Dr. Rajarshi Mitra uses state-of-the-art techniques to reduce the risk of complications such as infection or recurrence of the sinus. He is highly trained and prioritizes your safety above everything. He'll discuss all potential risks with you in detail before any treatment begins.

In most cases, the treatment for Pilonidal Sinus is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you won't need to stay overnight in the hospital. You'll be able to go home the same day, although you'll need someone to drive you. Dr. Rajarshi Mitra will make sure you're fully informed about how to care for yourself once you're home.
