Finding the Right Pilonidal Sinus Specialist in Bangalore
Pilonidal sinus is a specialised condition. While any general surgeon can perform the basic procedure, outcomes vary significantly based on the surgeon's experience.
Credentials to Look For
- MS (Master of Surgery) — the standard postgraduate surgical qualification
- FMAS (Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery) — relevant for laser procedures
- KMC registration — mandatory for all doctors in Karnataka
Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Surgeon
- "How many pilonidal sinus procedures do you perform per year?" — Look for 100+ per year
- "Do you offer laser treatment (FiLaC/SiLaC)?"
- "What is your personal recurrence rate?" — Should be under 5% for laser
- "What happens if I have a recurrence?"
- "What is included in the treatment cost?"
Red Flags to Avoid
- Surgeons who only offer one treatment option
- No published research or conference presentations
- Unusually low prices
- No clear follow-up protocol
