Considering private pilonidal sinus surgery? At GoPrivate.com, we have over 20 years' experience matching patients with private general and colorectal surgeons, hospitals and clinics.

Pilonidal sinus surgery is a procedure designed to treat a pilonidal sinus, a small cavity or tunnel that can develop in the skin at the base of the spine. This condition is often caused by hair follicles becoming trapped under the skin, leading to infection and the formation of painful cysts. If left untreated, pilonidal sinuses can result in recurrent infections, abscess formation, and significant discomfort, potentially impacting daily activities and overall quality of life. Typically, a consultant surgeon or a specialist in colorectal surgery will manage this condition, ensuring a tailored approach to treatment.

For an initial consultation regarding pilonidal sinus surgery, you can expect fees in the range of £220 to £320. It is important to note that the costs for surgery or further treatment can vary significantly depending on the hospital, geographical location, and the complexity of the procedure.

Whether you need drainage of a pilonidal cyst, or surgery to remove it completely, we have options to compare profiles, do your research or get on the Fast Track to treatment.
