The EPSIT Advantages
The aim of the traditional techniques is the removal of the infected area by closing or laying open the skin.
This may cause painful progress during the postoperative period, requiring regular dressings, take many weeks to heal and recurrences are possible. The E.P.Si.T. Procedure has many advantages compared with other techniques. First of all, the direct vision allows the surgeon to see perfectly not only the pilonidal sinus, but also any possible fistula tracts or abscess cavities. The destruction can be modulated and there is the certainty of the complete removal of the infected area. Moreover, the haemostasis is done thoroughly under direct vision.
This direct vision also allows the complete removal of the hairs and their follicles, often located not only in the pilonidal sinus, but also in the surrounding tissue.
The aesthetic result is excellent and the patient’s quality of life is better compared with traditional techniques. There is no need for painful dressings and healing occurs within two to three weeks. The EPSIT procedure is performed in day surgery (the patient is admitted and discharged the same day of surgery).
