Treatment from inside the tract
SiLaC laser and hybrid EPSiT technique
EPSiT: laser and endoscopic vision
The newest technique combines laser with endoscopic vision using a miniature camera introduced into the pilonidal cavity for direct visualization during surgery.
Active infection, tract number and previous treatments guide technique selection.
Before choosing a technique
Assessment guides laser or endoscopic treatment selection
The decision depends on examination findings and disease progression.
When infection is active
An abscess with pus, fever, increasing pain or substantial swelling changes care priority.
Tracts beneath the skin
Pit number, tracts and disease extent guide treatment.
Previous episodes
A first episode differs from recurrence after other treatment.
Activities and aftercare
Work, exercise and possible care needs also inform the decision.
When infection is active
An abscess needs prompt attention
Increasing pain, marked swelling, fever, pus or illness may indicate an abscess. Drainage is generally the priority. Do not wait for WhatsApp if symptoms are severe or worsening.
Minimally invasive surgery
Less surgical trauma is a possible aim, not a promise
Dr. Eduardo Navarro offers pilonidal laser surgery. Suitable findings may allow less pain, easier recovery and outpatient care. The technique follows review of tracts, infection and individual history.
Options for different situations
Laser is one alternative within a treatment plan
The useful technique changes with abscesses, limited tracts, extensive disease or recurrence.
Drainage for abscesses
Collected pus first needs opening and drainage. Laser does not replace this step.
Laser surgery for selected tracts
Laser can treat selected tracts through their existing openings with minimally invasive access.
Other surgical techniques
Tract cleaning, excision or other closure methods are compared according to extent and previous episodes.
