After many years dedicated to major abdominal surgery, mainly related to colon and rectal cancer, and having performed hundreds of complex laparoscopic interventions, we have discovered in the surgical treatment of pilonidal disease, a particularly comforting area.

We know from our years of experience working in both public and private health care, that the absolute majority of surgeons have no interest in treating this disease, and this happens for several reasons:

They do not understand it properly, its results are poor (both from an aesthetic point of view and in terms of the patient’s quality of life) and it requires a meticulous postoperative follow-up.

Precisely for these reasons, we continue to carry out an intervention of the last century in the 21st century.

On the other hand, having been able to see first-hand the enormous difference that undergoing a conventional procedure or the Karydakis Flap makes for these patients, has been crucial when considering this specialization.

From the patient’s point of view, it is like night and day; and that is why it gives us so much satisfaction to be able to shed some light on their lives.
