Pilonidal Sinus Disease Surgery & Treatment – Dr. Mehli Nazir

A Pilonidal sinus is a tract,small cyst or abscess that occurs in the cleft of the buttocks. It can cause severe pain and often becomes infected.

What Are The Causes Of Pilonidal Sinus Disease?
Causes of Pilonidal sinus is believed to be chiefly bifactional
  • Seen in hirsute (hairy individuals) individuals with potential for free hair to lie within the natal cleft
  • Presence of pits/dimples within the natal cleft area that promote the entrance of loose hair/debris into the subcutaneous tissue

 How Are Pilonidal Sinus Treated?

 Once a pilonidal sinus has been definitely identified, surgery is the treatment of choice.  Sometimes if this condition manifests with an abscess formation, then a procedure to drain the abscess will be required as a pre – requisite.  Occasionally abscess drainage alone may suffice.
Surgery is done under General Anathesia where the entire diseased complex is excised.  Primary closure of this wound is almost always done (no regular dressings required as there is no open wound). This is usually achieved by using a Cleft lift / modified Cleft lift procedure.

 Recovery From Pilonidal Sinus  Surgery

 4 – 5 hours after surgery, the patient consumes fluids and a full diet.  The patient is mobilised within 8-12 hrs following surgery.A drain usually stays in place for approximately 48 hrs.The patient can thereafter get discharged from hospital and follow – up at the clinic at regular intervals.

What is Anal Fistula? It’s Treatment & Recovery from Surgery

  What Is An Anal Fistula? This a channel extending from the anal canal (usually) to the skin in the area surrounding the anal verge.  It is frequently a result of the formation of an anal gland infection which may manifest as an abscess. What Is The  Treatment For Anal Fistula ? Surgery is almost always needed as only very few fistulas heal by themselves.  The procedure of choice depends on: Type of Fistula Presence/ absence of infection/large abscess.

Exploring Cholecystectomy Surgery: Laparoscopic Surgeons in India

  Understanding Cholecystectomy Surgery Cholecystectomy  is the medical term for the surgical removal of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. When gallstones or other conditions cause pain, inflammation, or complications, removal of the gallbladder through cholecystectomy may be recommended. The Evolution to Laparoscopic Surgery Traditionally, cholecystectomy was performed using open surgery, which required a larger incision and longer recovery times. However, with advancements in medical technology,  laparoscopic cholecystectomy  has become the preferred approach in many cases. This technique involves making several small incisions through which a tiny camera and surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon views the procedure on a monitor and performs the surgery with greater precision and minimal tissue damage. Benefits of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Faster Recover...
