Pilonidal Cyst Treatment Center
Pilonidal Clinic
by VenoMedica
Pilonidal Clinic is the first medical center in Poland that offers comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of pilonidal cysts. We use atraumatic and effective surgical methods that allow for quick and full recovery.
Our Mission
The health and comfort of our patients is our priority!
Since we opened VenoMedica Specialist Medical Center we have been providing attentive care to our patients, aiming to relieve them from pain and embarrassment and to improve their quality of life.
To meet the expectations and needs of patients living with pilonidal cysts, we created the Pilonidal Clinic, whose mission is to provide reliable information about the condition and treatment options, as well as access to minimally invasive surgical treatments so our patients can recover fully and quickly.
When planning pilonidal cyst treatment, we focus on three main objectives:
1. Wound healing
Wound healing should be as fast as possible and wound care should be easy and not require the help of nurses but merely some assistance of family members.
2. The quality of life
The quality of life after surgery should be high enough for the patient to be able to function relatively normally, sit down, take a shower, sleep in supine position, drive, walk, and perform work that does not require major physical effort.
3. The risk of recurrence
The risk of recurrence should be as low as possible.
The esthetic aspect
The esthetic aspect is also important – the postsurgical wound area and the shape of the buttocks should remain as close to natural as possible, the scar should be as little visible as can be, vast and wide scars should be avoided, especially those running across the intergluteal cleft.

Patients’ opinions
Recommended – friendly and professional service. Four weeks ago I had Bascom Cleft Lift done by Dr. Norbert Zapotoczny. The doctor was very nice, but most of all, very matter-of-fact. He answered all of my doubts and concerns clearly and professionally. The procedure itself, after anesthesia, was practically painless. Both the procedure and recovery looked exactly as I was told. The contact with the clinic was very good, my emails were answered on the same day. I would also like to thank all the assistants present during the procedure. I want to thank the whole staff!

Professionalism and great atmosphere during yesterday’s procedure. Dr. Zapotoczny is a great specialist and I heartily recommend treatment at VenoMedica. After a procedure in a hospital, I had to lie at home for a month, while after the procedure at VenoMedica, I could function normally already on the next day, of course, with caution 🙂
