It took Dr. Francesco Esposito less than a quarter of an hour to operate on his patient. On Wednesday morning, in one of the operating rooms of the new state hospital of Coulommiers (Seine-et-Marne), a thirty-year-old patient lies on his stomach. He was given anesthesia, which sedated a large area from his lower abdomen to his knee. The surgeon made a small hole in the upper part of the intergluteal groove. He used a tool to heal the inside of the hole. He then inserted a thin rod connected to a generator. By pressing the pedal, he activated a laser that burned through the entire cabin 360°. And lo and behold, the pilonidal cyst is no more!
A new tool adopted by the Hospital de l’Est Ile-de-France (GHEF) will change the lives of patients with pilonidal cysts. This condition is caused by hair growing upside down inside the skin. This disease, described as “benign”, is no less disabling. This is an abscess originating in the upper part of the intergluteal groove. Until now, the healing method has always been the same. Surgeons ablated the cyst in question, removing a ball “the size of a tangerine or a large apricot,” describes Alexandre Cortes, responsible for visceral surgery throughout GHEF.
