Incision and drainage -- This is the most common treatment for an infected cyst. Self The patient can drive when he or she is comfortable using the brake and gas pedal and is off all sorts of pain medication. Pit Picking (also called Bascoms Operation, or Bascom 1) is one of the minimally invasive procedures used to treat pilonidal disease. How does the Laser Surgery for Pilonidal Sinus work? We offer a less invasive procedure called Pit Picking for patients who are good candidates for it.
