Which hospitals accept Ayushman Card for pilonidal sinus surgery in Indore?

Hello,

A pilonidal sinus is a small hole or tunnel in the skin, typically located at the top of the buttock cleft, which can become infected and filled with pus or fluid.

Pilonidal Sinus surgery is covered under Ayushman Bharat Yojana at eligible PMJAY hospitals.

Treatment Options for Pilonidal Sinus

While minor cases might be managed with antibiotics for infection, surgical intervention is often required for a permanent solution.

• Non-Surgical Management : This may include antibiotics for infection, hair removal around the area, and maintaining good hygiene. However, these are often temporary measures.
  
  
• Surgical Options : The goal of surgery is to remove the sinus tract and prevent recurrence
  
  
  • Open Excision : The sinus is cut out, and the wound is left open to heal. This can take longer but has a lower recurrence rate for some.
    
    
  • Closed Excision (Excision and Primary Closure) : The sinus is removed, and the wound is stitched closed. This allows for faster healing but may have a higher risk of infection or recurrence.
    
    
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques : Procedures like laser ablation or Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment (EPSiT) involve less tissue removal, quicker recovery, and less pain. These are often preferred for their benefits. HexaHealth partners with hospitals that offer advanced minimally invasive treatments for pilonidal sinus, ensuring a smoother recovery and excellent patient care.
