What Is Pilonidal Cyst Surgery?
Pilonidal cyst surgery is a common procedure used to remove painful cysts that form near the tailbone, typically at the top of the buttocks. These cysts often develop from ingrown hairs and can become infected, leading to swelling, drainage, and significant discomfort. At Life Surgical Oncology in La Canada, CA, Dr. Avo Artinyan provides surgical treatment for pilonidal cysts when conservative approaches are no longer effective. Surgery for pilonidal cysts helps prevent recurrent infections and promotes long-term relief.
What Can I Expect from Pilonidal Cyst Surgery?
Surgery for a pilonidal cyst may involve draining an abscess or completely removing the cyst and surrounding sinus tracts. The approach depends on the severity and extent of the cyst. Most procedures are outpatient and performed under local or general anesthesia. Dr. Artinyan may leave the wound open to heal naturally or close it with sutures, depending on the best approach for healing. Pilonidal cyst surgery recovery typically includes wound care instructions and a follow-up visit to monitor healing.
What Are the Benefits of Pilonidal Cyst Surgery?
Surgical removal of a pilonidal cyst can offer lasting relief and reduce the risk of future complications. Key benefits include:
- Elimination of painful and infected cysts
- Reduced risk of chronic inflammation or recurrent abscesses
- Faster healing with appropriate post-operative care
- Improved comfort and ability to sit or move without pain
- Long-term resolution of pilonidal cyst symptoms
- Better quality of life and reduced need for repeated drainage procedures
Prompt treatment can prevent the condition from worsening and help patients return to normal activities sooner.
