Hi i am
Siddhant from Mumbai,
This is just an informative post and in no way am I advertising or marketing for my doctors. I am a resident of Mahim, Mumbai, India. I got operated in Aug'17 for my first pilonidal sinus at a hospital in Dadar, Mumbai, India. Unfortunately the operation or post operative conditions weren't suitable and the wound started leaking by mid-October. The first operation was closed surgery with excision without a drain.
Since then i started reading on the Internet and came to know about this disease in depth. Read about the accuracy and recurrence rates of various surgeries. This forum has been a huge support and helped me. I read about the Bascom's procedure, flap surgeries, cleft lift operations, laser treatment. I waited for 1 month and co-ordinated with my previous doctor but the wound had no signs of healing completely. At that time i was pretty sure i was going to need another operation. But this time I was going to research extensively and then consult the respective doctor.
Now i just wonder how come my pilonidal recurrence took place just after few months? Many users having done the Closed surgery complain of recurrence after years.
I came across multiple doctors in India who perform the cleft lift. Luckily i got a doc in mumbai itself. Read about him on various sites, as after 1 failed operation i knew how irritating it is to be immobile for a week, missing my college lectures and restricted exercises.
This forum helped me with finalising the doctor to get my operation done in Mumbai itself. There were three patients with the same doctor-

The doctor is
Dr. Mehli Nazir. He has his clinic at Kemp's Corner in South Mumbai and is also available at multiple hospitals in that area. He travels a lot for seminars and also performs surgeries in UK (according to sumit). Luckily i got my appointment with Dr. Nazir in December and got operated at
Breach Candy Hospital in January'18. I am now healing well after one month post operation. Got my post operative MRI and there is no sign of infection and doctor said everything is good.
Nazir is one of the best doctors i have met.
This post is just to help any people in Mumbai or near Mumbai to be aware of this surgeon who performs Clift Lift. As during my 1st operation many deep tissues were removed, he performed a modified Bascom's procedure on me. He will check the patient and will study your MRI and will perform the most suitable operation and will customise it according to your body parameters. He gets to see many patients with recurrences. So my post will help you all by avoiding closed and open surgeries at the first instance and get yourself the best surgery possible.
Rather than doing multiple operations go for the correct and optimal at the first time itself. It is more difficult for the Dr. to operate on recurrent patients than first timers.
I was unfortunate to have a pilonidal recurrence but now i hope for a full and quick recovery. Just want to get out of this ASAP. Also hope for good health of all the pilonidal sufferers and users on this forum, it has been very helpful.
I am also instructed to undergo laser hair removal as i have thick and quick hair growth. I am doing laser treatment at
Lilavati Hospital, Bandra under
Dr. Chetan Oberoi.
I haven't gone into much details but just kept this post short and informative as possible.
These are the doctor's details, you can call or message him on his mobile number. If you need any referral, you may mention my name :
