Pilonidal Sinus Surgery with Z-Plasty: Advanced Care at Sukhayu Hospital by Dr. Sachin Jadhav
Pilonidal sinus disease is a painful and often recurring condition that commonly affects the natal cleft (the area near the tailbone). It involves the formation of a cyst or abscess, usually filled with hair and skin debris, leading to pain, swelling, pus discharge, and in severe cases, repeated infections. If left untreated, it can significantly affect one’s quality of life. At Sukhayu Hospital, Nashik, Dr. Sachin Jadhav, a renowned surgeon and Ayurvedic consultant, offers one of the most effective surgical treatments using the Z-Plasty technique—a method known for faster healing and lower recurrence rates.
What Is Pilonidal Sinus?
A pilonidal sinus usually begins as a small dimple or cyst near the tailbone, which may become infected. Causes include:
- Ingrown hair
- Friction or pressure from sitting for long periods
- Poor hygiene
- Excessive body hair
Initial stages may be managed with antibiotics or minor drainage procedures. However, recurrent or chronic cases require surgical intervention for a permanent cure.
Why Choose Z-Plasty for Pilonidal Sinus?
Z-Plasty is a specialized surgical technique used to excise the sinus tract and close the wound in a way that redistributes tension and avoids placing the scar in the midline (which has a high risk of recurrence). This method involves creating Z-shaped incisions that allow the skin to be rearranged more favorably, ensuring:
- Better wound healing
- Less postoperative discomfort
- Reduced risk of recurrence
- Improved cosmetic outcomes
At Sukhayu Hospital, Z-Plasty is routinely performed for pilonidal sinus cases with high success rates.
