At JAL Surgery, we provide expert surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus disease — a condition that can cause persistent pain, swelling, and recurrent infections near the base of the spine. If you have been struggling with repeated abscesses or ongoing discomfort, our consultant surgeons can offer safe, modern options such as pilonidal sinus private surgery designed for lasting relief.
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel that forms under the skin, usually in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. It often contains hair, debris, or pus, and may become infected.
Typical symptoms include:
While antibiotics can treat acute infections, surgery is usually required for long-term cure.
If you are dealing with recurrent pilonidal sinus infections or discomfort, private pilonidal sinus surgery at JAL Surgery provides expert care and faster recovery through trusted pilonidal sinus private treatment.

Recovery from a pilonidal sinus operation usually takes about 2–6 weeks, depending on the type of surgery and how well the wound heals. Open wound healing may take longer, while closed procedures heal faster. Good hygiene, rest, and proper wound care are key to a smoother recovery.
Do’s: Keep the wound clean and dry, follow your doctor’s dressing instructions, eat healthy foods, and avoid sitting for long periods.
Don’ts: Don’t lift heavy weights, skip follow-up appointments, or ignore signs of infection like pain, swelling, or pus. Staying mindful of these steps improves healing.
After pilonidal sinus surgery, focus on a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation and straining during bowel movements. Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and drink plenty of water. Avoid oily or junk food that may slow healing. A balanced diet supports faster recovery and strengthens your immune system.
Pilonidal sinus surgery is usually a short procedure, often lasting between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the method used. Simple excision takes less time, while flap techniques may take longer. Most surgeries are done under local or general anesthesia and do not require a long hospital stay.
During the surgery, you won’t feel pain because anesthesia is given. Afterward, mild to moderate pain is common for a few days. Pain is usually manageable with prescribed medications. Proper wound care and rest reduce discomfort. Most patients find the pain improves significantly within the first week of recovery.
The cost of private pilonidal sinus surgery can vary depending on factors such as the surgeon’s experience, the facility, and the specific treatment plan required for each patient.
