pilonidal cystectomy, a procedure performed to remove an abscessed pilonidal cyst with sinus tracts. Most common in young men, abscesses are drained during the acute stage and surgically excised during remission.
Trauma or injury to the area may cause the cyst to become tender and painful, to form an abscess, and possibly to drain. Trauma increases the risk of bacterial infection in a pilonidal sinus. Treatment is straightforward, beginning with antibiotics if the area is infected, followed by surgical removal.he most common location for a pilonidal cyst is the skin in the area of the tailbone. The cysts often occur in women between puberty and age 40. People who are obese or those with thick body hair have an increased risk of pilonidal cysts.
