Procedure Description
Endoscopic ablation of the pilonidal sinus is less intrusive compared to surgery and is usually performed as a day procedure under spinal or local anaesthesia.
The goal of endoscopic ablation is to target the hair invagination that causes pilonidal sinus illness and stop it from spreading further down the canal, which heals by secondary intention.
The process has two phases:
The external aperture of the sinus is incised and a Fistuloscope is placed into the sinus tract while the patient is in an inclined posture.
A continuous flow of irrigation solution is applied, providing for optimal sinus visualisation and assessment. Forceps are utilised to remove hairs, diseased tissue, and any detritus under direct vision.
The main sinus tract, as well as any subsidiary tracts or abscess chambers, are then cauterised with an electrode passing through the fistuloscope. An endobrush is used to remove necrotic material, and an irrigation fluid is used to clean the sinus tract.
Key features of the process are:
