Are you dealing with a failed “pilonidal cyst” surgery? Learn about the Cleft Lift Procedure.

So, you have had one, or more, operations for your pilonidal disease (often incorrectly referred to as a pilonidal cyst), and now you have a recurrence or an open wound.  You may have daily drainage. You may require wound care several times a week.  Your doctor may even tell you to live with it rather than risk another operation.

Please, there is no reason to live with this recurrence or open wound.  It will affect you for the rest of your life.

Get a Cleft Lift surgical procedure done by an experienced surgeon (not all surgeons who say that they perform the Cleft Lift are very experienced).  Performed correctly, the Cleft Lift Procedure should cure you and give you your life back.  You may need to travel to find an experienced surgeon, as only a handful of surgeons in the United States and Canada perform the procedure correctly, but it will be worth it.  You will get your life back.

Pilonidal Cyst or Pilonidal Disease?

Pilonidal disease (pie-low-NIE-dul), a chronic infection of the skin and underlying tissue near the tailbone, is a common disorder. Those who properly understand pilonidal disease realize that it is really an abscess of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (the tissue under the skin) of the natal cleft.

Pilonidal cyst is a misnomer. There is no cyst present in patients who experience the debilitating symptoms of pilonidal disease. This misunderstanding causes many medical practitioners to continue to misadvise patients to undergo disfiguring excision procedures that have high recurrence rates.

Instead, patients should seek an experienced surgeon who understands the true nature of pilonidal disease. They will perform a surgical procedure called the Cleft Lift Procedure. This procedure addresses the underlying issues of pilonidal disease.
