Pilonidal Sinus

Pilonidal Sinus at North Downs Hospital

There are a number of surgical procedures to drain, remove and treat an infected pilonidal sinus cyst.

A pilonidal sinus, also known as a pilonidal cyst, pilonidal abscess and pilonidal disease, is a pimple-like sac filled with hair and skin debris that forms in the crease between your buttocks, near your tailbone.
