What is Pilonidal sinus?

Modern science has kept it’s search for a technique open to assure permanent cure. They tried to improved cutting tools for surgery and replaced scissors / blades to laser. But they kept their focus on the concept that ‘only on removal of infection is enough’. If that is enough modern science must have assured cure.

In early stages, patient don’t understand the seriousness of a pimple on buttock near tail bone at lower back area is pilonidal sinus. But that pimple can be an external opening of pilonidal sinus or abscess. ‘ Pilonidal ‘ means nest of hairs. A pilonidal sinus is a tube like random shape structure which contains a tuft of hairs. This may contain infected tissues, pus, blood. When the tunnel gets blocked, it is called cyst / abscess. There is no perfect translation / meaning in Marathi for the word “pilonidal sinus”.

When hair and it’s root get infected, the hair may not come out side skin. It may travel below skin spreading infection to other hair roots. This infection grows in the mid line of body and may have 1 / 2 or more holes involved. It may remain for 2/4 or more years if untreated. When the infection get locked below skin due to blocking of hair holes. When infection increases inside the skin, the abscess creates pressure and pain. The pain subsides only when the cyst bursts.

What is Kshar sutra treatment?

‘Kshar’ ( in Sanskrit language ) means alkaline mixture. ‘Sutra’ means a thread. So Kshar sutra means a thread coated with herbal alkaline mixture. This thread is used to insert in the pilonidal sinus track. The process can be performed under local anesthesia on OPD basis.

How Kshar sutra Treatment Works

Kshar sutra - both cutting & healing action -

  • Pressure necrosis
  • Chemical cauterization by kshara (alkali)
  • Sloughing of the tissue of the walls of the fistulous track
  • Cutting provides adequate drainage. It leads to an easy debridement of unhealthy tissue and pus etc.

Thus providing a cleaner base for the wound healing of the track. The Kshar-sutra is changed weekly so that an average pace of cutting of about 0.5-0.8 cm/week is maintained along with healing from behind. Finally the whole track is cut through and the fistula / pilonidal sinus gets healed up with minimal scarring and without any other major complication. Infection is not the only cause in fistula. The structure itself is a big cause of recurrence. As kshar-sutra totally destroys the unhealthy tissue & structure, there is no recurrence.

 In our clinic, in India we treat fistula and pilonidal sinus only by Kshar Sutra treatment. As we prepare the medicated threads our self, we are confident about it’s action. So we don’t us any antibiotic before, after or during the procedure. This treatment is the best alternative for modern surgery techniques.

We think one step ahead of all. Our special technique of Kshar sutra treatment works on following points –

  • Removal of hair and infection
