What Is Pilonidal Sinus Disease?

Pilonidal sinus disease is a chronic condition that occurs when a small tunnel, or sinus, forms under the skin near the tailbone, often between the buttocks. This sinus can trap debris and bacteria, leading to inflammation, infection, and abscess formation. The condition is more common in young adults and individuals who spend long periods sitting, as these factors increase pressure and friction in the affected area.

While it may begin as a minor irritation, a pilonidal sinus can become a recurring and painful issue if left untreated. Fortunately, effective surgical options, such as the Bascom cleft lift procedure, can address the problem and prevent future complications.

What Are the Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus?

You may have a pilonidal sinus if you experience:

• Pain or discomfort near the tailbone, especially when sitting
• Swelling or redness in the affected area
• Pus or blood draining from the sinus
• Recurrent infections or abscesses

Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking treatment can prevent further complications and help you return to a more comfortable and active lifestyle.

What Is the Bascom Cleft Lift Procedure?

The Bascom cleft lift procedure addresses pilonidal sinus disease effectively while minimizing discomfort and recovery time. It involves removing the affected tissue and reshaping the area to reduce tension and prevent future infections.

Why Choose the Bascom Cleft Lift?

• Minimally Invasive: The procedure is less invasive than traditional surgeries, resulting in smaller incisions and less scarring.
• Quick Recovery: Many patients resume normal activities within weeks.
• Long-Term Relief: By addressing the root cause of the condition, this technique helps prevent recurrence.

The Bascom cleft lift is ideal for patients seeking an effective, low-risk procedure with faster healing and minimal disruption to daily life.

How Long Is Recovery After Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

While recovery times vary, most patients experience:

• Mild discomfort managed with prescribed pain relief
• The ability to return to light activities within a few days
• Complete healing of the surgical site within a few weeks

With proper aftercare and follow-up, you can expect a smooth recovery and a significant improvement in your quality of life.
