Today, the wide incisions and lengthy dressing processes of classical surgical methods have been replaced by modern, tissue-preserving techniques like <strong>Micro Sinusectomy<\/strong>, which prioritizes patient comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-is-the-best-pilonidal-sinus-surgery\">Which is the best pilonidal sinus surgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In surgical literature and our clinical experience, the &#8220;best&#8221; method is the one with the lowest recurrence rate, the least disruption to daily life, and the most successful aesthetic results. Considering these criteria, <strong>Micro Sinusectomy<\/strong> is regarded as the &#8220;gold standard&#8221; in modern proctology. This method, where only the diseased area (the cyst) is removed while healthy tissue is preserved, is one of the most successful options due to its rapid healing and low recurrence rate (around 3%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-many-days-does-pilonidal-sinus-surgery-take\">How many days does pilonidal sinus surgery take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pilonidal sinus operations performed with advanced techniques do not require days of hospitalization. The Micro Sinusectomy procedure is typically completed in as little as <strong>15-20 minutes<\/strong>. Patients come to the clinic on the day of the operation, undergo the procedure, and can return home on foot the same day after a short rest. In other words, the &#8220;surgery process&#8221; is actually a procedure lasting only a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recovery-time-after-micro-sinusectomy\">Recovery time after micro sinusectomy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The greatest advantage of Micro Sinusectomy is that it reduces recovery time from weeks to days. The laborious wound dressings seen in classical surgeries, which can last for months, do not exist in this method. Because the incision area is as small as approximately 2 cm, tissue closure is very rapid. Patients can usually return fully to work, school, or social life just <strong>one day after the operation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-there-pain-after-pilonidal-sinus-surgery\">Is there pain after pilonidal sinus surgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In microsurgical approaches where tissue damage is kept to a minimum, post-operative pain is almost non-existent. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, no pain is felt during the operation. Any mild aches that may occur afterward are easily controlled with simple painkillers. Our patients do not experience the severe pain associated with classical surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-can-you-sit-after-pilonidal-sinus-surgery\">When can you sit after pilonidal sinus surgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The common fears in classical methods, such as &#8220;not being able to sit&#8221; or &#8220;having to lie on one&#8217;s side,&#8221; do not apply to Micro Sinusectomy. In this method, patients can comfortably sit immediately after the procedure, lie on their backs, and perform daily movements without restriction. The small incision area is closed with aesthetic sutures in a way that prevents it from opening under pressure while sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-pilonidal-sinus-surgery-leave-a-scar\">Does pilonidal sinus surgery leave a scar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Micro Sinusectomy is the surgical technique with the most successful aesthetic results. Since the work is performed within an area of approximately 2 cm and aesthetic suturing methods are used, a very small scar remains that is difficult to notice once healing is complete. Unlike classical methods, permanent and wide surgical scars do not form, providing great comfort, especially for patients with aesthetic concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pilonidal sinus (pilonidal cyst) is a condition occurring in the tailbone area, particularly in young adults, characterized by pain and discharge.
