endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment

Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment (EPSiT) is an advanced minimally invasive procedure designed to treat pilonidal sinus disease with minimal discomfort and faster recovery. A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity that develops beneath the skin near the tailbone, often containing hair, debris, and infected tissue. It can cause pain, swelling, discharge, recurrent infections, and difficulty sitting comfortably. At BariFit, we offer EPSiT as a modern and effective treatment option for both primary and recurrent pilonidal sinus conditions. This innovative procedure utilizes a specialized endoscope that allows direct visualization of the sinus tract from within. Under precise camera guidance, infected tissue, hair, and debris are removed while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. Under the expert care of Dr. Parmeshwar B. Bambrule, patients receive comprehensive evaluation, personalized treatment planning, and advanced surgical management. EPSiT is associated with smaller wounds, less postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and quicker return to daily activities compared to conventional open surgical techniques. BariFit combines advanced endoscopic technology, surgical expertise, and patient-focused care to deliver effective treatment outcomes while minimizing recurrence risks and improving overall patient comfort.
