Arjun Das, a 65-year-old retired teacher,...
Arjun Das, a 65-year-old retired teacher, had a recurrent, infected pilonidal cyst at the base of his spine for decades, causing episodes of severe pain, swelling, and drainage that made sitting and daily life miserable. After multiple failed courses of antibiotics and minor drainage procedures, his doctor recommended a complete excision to remove the sinus tract and prevent future infections. Arjun was weary of the chronic cycle of pain and hesitant about a more involved surgery. The procedure required general anesthesia and left a wound that needed careful packing during healing. The initial recovery was more demanding than expected, requiring daily wound care from a home health nurse. However, after six weeks of diligent care, the wound healed completely. For the first time in years, Arjun is free from pain and infection. He feels a profound sense of liberation, finally able to enjoy his retirement, travel, and sit comfortably without fear of a flare-up.
