Pilonidal
Cyst – Treatment
Pilonidal
cysts require surgical intervention in most cases. The procedure is performed
under regional or general anesthesia, with the assistance of an
anesthesiologist who, together with the patient, determines the method of
anesthesia. The cyst is incised and thoroughly cleaned. The wound after the
procedure requires drainage, which is removed on the third day after the
procedure. During the consultation, the doctor determines the method and scope
of the procedure and the type of anesthesia with the patient. Immediately after
the procedure, pain and bleeding may occur from the area of the operation.
The patient leaves the Clinic with recommendations and comes for follow-up
visits on the designated date.
