My Pilonidal Sinus excision operation and recovery photographs.
***WARNING***! Turn away now if you don't have the stomach to see the close up and gory oozing bloody flesh of my backside.
Why did I take these pictures? Because my head can't turn through 180 degrees, and I wanted to see what was happening to my own body!
Why did I publish them on the internet? Because I want to try to help educate the poor souls that might have to have the same operation, and to reassure the 90% of them that their operation won't be as bad as mine!
If you have any pictures of your operation, please post a message to the pilonidal.org bulletin board, or click on the 'leave a message' link over on the right, and I'll add you to the links on the right hand side. |

7th May 2003
to 12th Apr 2004 | Pilonidal Sinus
Pay close attention to the date of each picture. My operation was on the 7th May 2003, and I was finally healed at the beginning of February 2004. Looking back through my notes, I had a low grade infection from the end of July through to the beginning of November, which virtually brought all visible signs of healing to a halt. Pay close attention to the state of your own wound, and don't be fobbed off by your careworkers if they tell you that a small infection won't hurt. You might save yourself three months of healing time!
