EPSiT / Pilonidal sinus treatment

EPSiT – Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment

Instruments can also be used to treat anal fistulas (VAAFT technique).

The pilonidal sinus is an acute or chronic inflammation of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, often occurring in the sacrococcygeal region¹. EPSiT – Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment – proceeds in two phases. In the first – diagnostic – phase, the sinus cavity and the sinus tracts are examined. The aim of the second – therapeutic – phase is to ablate the abscess cavity and to eliminate the fistula². Both phases are performed under direct endoscopic control.
