Video-Assisted Laser Ablation is a modern, minimally invasive treatment for pilonidal sinus, a condition involving a small infected tunnel in the skin near the tailbone. It often causes pain, swelling, discharge, and recurrent infections, especially in young adults and individuals who sit for prolonged periods.

This advanced procedure uses a tiny camera to visualize the sinus tract, allowing precise removal of infected tissue. Laser energy is then used to seal and destroy the sinus tract from within, promoting healing while preserving healthy tissue. The technique ensures minimal bleeding, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery.

Compared to traditional surgery, video-assisted laser treatment results in smaller wounds, reduced recurrence rates, and early return to normal activities. The procedure is typically performed as a daycare surgery.
