Flap Reconstruction for Pilonidal Sinus is usually recommended when the condition is recurrent, large, or not responding to simple procedures. Pilonidal sinus often begins like a small swelling or painful cyst near the tailbone. Over time, repeated infections, discharge, or abscess formation can make daily activities uncomfortable, especially sitting for long hours.
Dr. Atef J. Baakza manages pilonidal sinus cases with a structured approach, beginning with proper evaluation and counseling. When disease is extensive or keeps returning, flap reconstruction becomes a reliable option. This technique involves removing the sinus completely and then covering the area using a specially designed tissue flap to reduce tension and improve healing. One important advantage is that it helps shift the cleft and reduces the chance of recurrence.
People living with chronic pilonidal sinus often feel frustrated. Dressing changes, intermittent pain, and persistent discharge can interfere with work or studies. Flap reconstruction aims to break this cycle. With better wound healing, patients usually experience improved comfort and faster return to regular routines.
If pilonidal sinus has recurred multiple times or conservative treatment has not helped, advanced surgical planning can make a real difference. Book an appointment in Mumbai to discuss whether flap reconstruction is the right option for your condition.
