Surgical Treatment Options
Pit Picking (minimally invasive): Small incisions to remove the sinus tracts while preserving surrounding tissue. Faster recovery (1-2 weeks). Suitable for simple pilonidal sinus. Cost Rs 35,000-55,000.
Wide excision: The entire sinus tract and surrounding tissue is removed. Open wound left to heal or closed. Longer recovery (4-6 weeks). Lower recurrence for complex cases. Cost Rs 50,000-90,000.
