Pit-Picking Procedure in New Jersey: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Pilonidal Disease
Are you dealing with painful, recurring pilonidal cysts but hesitant about major surgery? Pit-picking may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
What Is Pit-Picking?
Pit-picking is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat pilonidal disease in its early stages or for patients with isolated sinus tracts. By removing the small, hair-containing pits that fuel infection, this approach targets the root cause with less trauma and a faster recovery than traditional surgery.
Key Benefits:
- Minimally invasive: Small incisions mean less pain and scarring.
- Rapid recovery: Most patients return to normal activities the day after their procedure.
- Outpatient convenience: Performed in our New Jersey ambulatory care center under intravenous sedation.
- Expert care: Dr. Samuil Rafailov specializes in pilonidal disease, with years of experience helping local patients get back to living pain-free.
How Does Pit-Picking Work?
After gently numbing the area with local anesthesia, Dr. Rafailov makes precise incisions to remove the infected pits and sinus tracts. The area is thoroughly cleaned and, depending on your needs, incisions may be left open or closed with a few sutures. This approach reduces the chance of recurrence while minimizing downtime.
Why Choose Pit-Picking Over High-Tech Alternatives
Procedures like SiLaC (sinus laser closure) and Epsit (endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment) sound advanced, but current research shows no better outcomes compared to classic pit-picking. At Pilonidal Fix, we focus on what works—safe, evidence-based care that gets you lasting relief.
